Default First harley -2006 night train

Just bought my first harley today and want to start the mods. First off I want a chrome or polished rear wheel. Can anyone point me i the right direction to get this? I also want the flush rear tinted light for the rear. Any thoughts here. Thanks for your help guys. I am smiling from ear to ear and I will be for days.

Welcome to club!

Lots are running the HD tri-bar light, I have the Kuryakyn low profile smoked. Can't help much with wheels, still got the stockers. Better post up some pics, but make sure the reflectors are gone! Also, come on over to the train pic thread, lots of good people over there, and some sick *** scoots too!

Congrats on the bike! I'm going to give you the same advice I give to everyone with their first Harley. Buy a Harley Service Manual! It will be the best money you can spend.

Congrats on the new bike, if its done more than 20,000 miles I should check the Camm chain tensioners for wear can be a big problem if they're worn and break up, lots of info on the forums about this, only affects the 88s, there's a few guys on here running polished rear wheels so someone should be able to help with where to get one, I've got a Tri bar on my Train much better than the original, safer to as if one diode packs up there's plenty more lite up, unlike a bulb where when the filament goes your back end is in the dark.
