For me it was the same thing with cars and trucks. I hate forums. My Dodge Daytona only had 2500 miles on it when I did a complete redo of it.

I put on the new frenched trim rings for the headlight and passing lamps that i had powder coated while I was gone. I really like how they look. Now I just have to get the trucklite phase 7 that was the main reason for getting the frenched trim rings. That's got to wait though for the oil cooler. I think I'm going to get the HD one. If anybody with ABS has pics of one installed on theirs I'd love to see them. Here's a few pics of the new trim rings.

Hey, I got a solution for that....my shop is only 14 miles, but I take the long way as often as not, and it is closer to 25 miles.

Powder is looking good!

After PC'ing the forks will it be necessary to re tap threads for fender or any cleanup necessary on the axle hole?

This depends on who does your PC work... If they are a good company, they should do the cleanup for you. If they are lazy, you will need a razorblade, some fine sandpaper and maybe some wax and a little buffing cloth. I sent my legs, unknowingly, to a bad one. Took me about 19 minutes to clean up the excess around the bottom hole of the forks and the backside of the fender mount holes. You should not have to worry about retapping any threads.

Isn't it great????

This is the first of many bikes I have owned that has really been modded. The other had a few things done but not to this extent. But then again I did not follow any forums at the time.

As long as the wife gets chrome for her little chrome ***** I am good to go. She did how ever hate my truck because I would not let her drive it.
