I justwon one onebay,I'm not sure if I will use it or not. But for $39.00 I figuredI wouldtry it. I'll let you know of the quality and fit when i get it. I'm thinking about putting a chrome rear fender on there too. I just haven't found a design that I like yet.

Check out one of the sponsors of this web site Chrome Fusion.

There were a pair of chromed Softails at the Sacramento Easyriders show. I took a pic, which is attached (I hope!). They looked kinda cool, but it'd be murder trying to ride one on a sunny day!

I see this Road King every year in Myrtle. I talked to the owner. He said it cost 3500 bucks to do the bags, lids and sidecovers.

HOLY CHROME Batman, that's a SHINEY bike. Ya need sunglasses just to be in the same neighborhood with that bike.

Man I don't want to think of all the cleaning and polishing you would have to do after getting caught out in the rian. Nice paint is bad enough as it is, no thanks I'll pass.
