I have a 2006 Night Train that I want to black out. Its very low miles and garaged so everything is very clean. Is my stock shiny front end (forks, triple clamps, 21" wheel, chrome headlight, bar and riser and quick release HD chrome and lexan fairing) worth anything?
Did any bike come with a compatible blacked out front end that I could be looking for used?
Save yourself some money and get it all powder coated black. As far as I know HD never made a bike with a stock black front end. That being said, there are quite a few vendors on eBay that sell front end kits that are already powder coated.
+1 on powder coating it all. You will save thousands but get the same effect and look just as good. That thousands could be spent on some other really cool stuff for the bike.
When I first started blacking my train out, I bought new parts, but quickly realized the money to be saved by just powder coating the parts you already have. Seriously you're mad buying new parts in black when your current parts are perfectly fine. Unless for example you're after a different looking part
