That looks great, Jim! Are you considering red plug wires to help with the contrast? Are those the stock bars or swapped?

Thanks agin Tx!

Yea Tx I am looking at plug wires now, but If i go that route they will have to match the red exact, so we will see what I (or they) come up with. I noticed you matched your color wires perfectly it looks like, nice.

My bars are 36" wide Flanders beachbars 1 1/4" thick.

If you have any of that paint, or can get some, send it to USKoolines to see if he can match......

Now that looks cool, so much better than the way it looked with the stock wheels. Is that paint or powder?
