Great job, Skip. Actually, there's more chrome than I expected.

LOL, more than I like, too! When the pipes get ratty by the end of the year I'll probably by some header wrap for 'em. And I think I really need to pull the sissy bar plates and paint them, too. That'll leave just the headlight, edge of front rim, front hub cap, floor boards, ignition cover, and sissy bar chromed. The other shiny stuff is stainless steel.

Hey Skip, Why do you paint with rattle cans. I assume you have a small compressor, a small gun is cheap, and if you paint with a gun it is cheaper, more efficient, and you get a better job than you do with cans.
What's the deal with the red on the rims? Please don't tell me that is rattle can.
Is no front fender legal?
Did you ever consider putting a small bend in the shift bar? I think it would look even better than it does now.
Once again, nice build!

I like the idea of no chrome and I think I have to much, not sure how all those guys with tons of chrome like spending time polishing. Here is my bike from my last trip, 7 bucks at the car wash, 2 hours with rag and pail of water after and still have crap stuck on it and I have little chrome. No chrome sounds better to me everytime I hear it. But thats just me. 
Good job pococj, looks like a real harley from the 70's.

Skip, taking another look at your bike. You have to lose the chrome headlight trim ring. That just looks so anti Skip. What about the chrome cowbells and uppers?
Just kiddin you buddy. ( but lose the headlight trim ring!)
