Murdered out huh? Should I post a thread asking about that? I'm just saying, if we were playing Scrable, I'd call you on that one.

It's taken some time but I love the shape of your rear fender. I used to hate it lol.

Murdered out might be new lingo that I just brought to the Harley world, but I know in the car world that is what it means and is quite common.. Flat black paint, black rims, etc, etc.

As for the bobber fender, if it is mine you are referring to, I don't mind it but would like to replace both fenders one day. They are on the list after many other things. Front fender change is closer to the top of the list, right after 97ci kit.

Yes it was your fender to which I was referring. I have the same one. Hated it and looked into the RSD tracker fender. My bike is my daily rider (about 500mi/week) and the usefulness on the fender and the sissy bar can't be beat. And stripped down and lowered the look of the fender can't be beat for a sweet mild custom look. Give it time, it'll be a unique look because it seems most people change them out.

To me, it means all major parts are black with nuts, bolts and screws being chrome.

So any color bike can be blacked out if you "delete the chrome" parts...all of it or just the major component?

I consider mine "mostly blacked out".
