-If you have any money left over after all you've done, think about chrome flush mount gas gauge/caps.
Thanks for your compliments!
I have to disagree on the plug wires. The copper paint actually has an orange tint to it. In fact, a lot of people seem to recall my bike being orange. Also, if you look closely, you can see an orange pinstripe going around all the painted black panels. Braided chrome plug wires could be cool, tho.
I do need to replace a lot of my bolts, nuts and hardware with chrome. That's gonna be a "here a little, there a little" project for later.
And yeah, I'll think about the flush mount caps. Thought about it before, but not enough to make me pull the trigger yet...thanks again.

I can appreciate all the work you put in. Looks good. Really like the wheels.
As you can see I'm partial to the color as well. Honestly though, this color on a Deluxe or Fatboy looks good, some other bikes, not so good to me.

Nice, but you need some sort of orange plug wires to match now. I really dig it. You have done very well!

Looks really good - great job. I like the fender.

How about a blacked out headlight ring. You could get a different one for relatively cheap, PC it, and be able to switch out between the two.
