Very cool rocker and really nice paint job, I like that style.
The only thing that doesn't fit perfect is the black plastic handgranade and the motor mount, but that's my personal opinion.

That paint really sets it off. I keep thinking I'm almost done.

WOw, yeah, that paint is somthing else. And thanks alot for putting together some of them part numbers. Im sure they ALL will come into use for some of us at some point. Were the chrome parts chromed by you? Meaning, the HD chrome parts, like sing arm, and oil bag.

HD100 - I couldn't agree more about that hand grenade. I've been thinking about getting rid of it for a long time, I just haven't found a way that I like yet. One way is to replace the dash/console with one that has the ignition up there, but I really like the low/sleek tank console I have now. The other way (that a couple of guys on these forums have done) is to go with aftermarket coils/coil mount, but that still leaves that stupid dangling key. My ideal solution would be some kind of chrome/billet mount and cover, and to replace the key with a three position switch, but I haven't seen that done and neither my dealer or my indy have any ideas. So anyway, still thinking about that one.

Hotwire - I didn't have any parts chromed myself. I attempted to have my wheels/rotors/pulley chromed by a semi-reputable chromer, but the quality was no where near the Harley chrome so I paid the restocking and went with the Harley chrome. Anyway, all those part numbers (like for the swingarm and oil bag) are for the chrome versions fro Harley.
