thanks guys im happy with them

the color is still gloss black but with blue pearl crystals added was thinking of the red at first but saw this and had to have it. when i picked them up they just looked gloss black like any other gloss black but when i went out in the sun i was blown away by the difference..he id this affect for no added cost. free i like the way that word just rolls off my tongue..lol
total cost was $650.00 plus taxes so $732.00 total
he cut out and filled the impression for the stock taillight on the fatboy fender and also filled the 2 luggage rack holes ill never use and fixed a small ding in the bottom edge of my front fender plus had to remove the HD pinstripping off the tank which i found out is a decal and not painted on.
so imo i got top knotch work done for a very reasonable price considering the facility they have i expected it to be $1000.00

painter said wait awhile to install tins to make sure the paint is good and hard/dry before i start assembly.time to sort out last few details..so i finished the last of the wiring for the passing lamps and front fender light today i had to find a spot for the relay and fuse holder then run the wiring along the stock harness .instead of mounting the on/off buttom to the handlebar controls as harley did for the springers i drilled a hole opposite the speedo trip button on the dash and im going to swap sides with the trip button so i can turn the passing lamps on with my left hand ..installed the horn in its new home tonight im happy not really noticable unless your looking for it and with the bike upright its all but hidden

How come your holes look better than mine?
