A powdercoater used to sell them on ebay, but he quit doing them becasue there is no money in it. Just buy the chrome one from Harley and have it powdercoated
I got lucky and found a trim ring on Ebay, the seller has a lot of powedercoated parts. Cant remember his exact name but it has the word "Voodoo" and a few numbers in the name.... I got the idea for trim rings on signals and headlight from Otter
Well, argued with the dealer a little more about getting my tank warrantied. Sounds like it is going to happen now. Sitting here with my tank lift and rear lowering kit waiting to put those on when i get the bike back. Ordered a few things last night. Rinehart Crossback exhaust(black), V&H FP3, and Roland Sands Turbine air cleaner(black ops). Normaly wouldnt care about my bike being in the shop this time of year but somehow it was 63 degrees here in North Dakota yesterday and there was bikes everywhere so I was sad. Hoping to get my bike back and parts in by next weekend so I can lock myself in the garage. Pretty excited to get all this stuff done.
I have been pondering motor work... I am new to the harley game and notice a lot of people do motor work. My last bike was a yamaha raider which moved like a rocket so i never did anything but bolt ons to that. Before that had a half dozen sport bikes with nothing but bolt ons. I like my slim but it is truly gut less compared to every other bike i have had. Anyone done like the fuel moto 107 kit or anything like that and also riden like the raider that can make a comparison?
Thats good to hear man, good job sticking to your guns.
I dont think the 103 needs a lot to wake it up, Have you tuned it at all? I have had great luck with the PV and it made a HUGE difference, though I do plan on having the heads CNC ported, and changing pistons, and cams next winter. The 103 inches will easily make more power than the rest of the bike needs to deal with.

Otter I really haven't done anything to it yet. Hoping the exhaust, AC, and tuner give it that little extra grunt I'm looking for. Was concerned about going to that Fuelpak from V&H because I think it is kind of worthless if you do any engine work. Anyone done any real modifications and ran the FP3?
Mine is in the shop now getting heads ported, pistons, and cams. I had the fp3, but my day I man said 'twas a waste of money. I sold it and put in a tts mastertune. Bike will be dyno'ed next week with all the new add ons and a new 2 to 1 exhaust. I also had the cross backs. Sold them with the fp3. They look and sound sweet, but I'm getting allot more power out of a 2 to 1.
