Misbehaven; you do have one sweet lookin ride there. [JMHO] But I would like to see it taken one step further and all of the front end tins done in denim black, I think this is where harley fell short on these bikes. To me it makes the tank and fenders kinda look like an afterthought. Its kinda like the bright chrome on the tripple tree and handle bars, how much more would it have cost to make them satin to match the rest of the bike. The lo s are deffinitely my favorite harley(that's why I have one), but I think they should have commited totaly with how they made these bikes, if they're gona go denim then go all denim, if it's satin chrome then do all satin. It makes it hard on us when we're doing mods as far as which way to go, gloss or denim, bright or satin. I'll go ahead and apolagize for going into a total rant on your post, and yes it will looked good blacked out

My plan is to get what bright chrome I have on the front end and bars done in satin over the winter. I feel for you guys with the denim black, it seems to make it just that much harder when you want to change something. Can they match that finish in powder coat?

I think the lot of you should completely chrome out your Lo's.. chrome front ends, handlebars, rockerbox covers, cam covers, exhausts..hell..pull your oil tanks and chrome them too, just so in the end i'll have the only black one left.

That's part of the reason I have not done the lowers yet. If I can't get the PC or paint to match then it will stay as is. Don't worry Jim, I don't plan on blacking anything else out.

Went shopping for the wife's birthday today. Thought I'd post some pics of the Lo all loaded up after hitting the mall. The saddle bags are full too with work clothes and whatnot. Should be getting the highway pegs this weekend for Father's Day. I ordered the RSD Black Ops Chrono Pegs but I'm not sure if they'll be in until next week sometime.
