It really isn't that difficult to do. I took the rails with wiring still attached to my powder coater and they disconnected and re-connected wiring. (a simple 10 second job with right tools, know-how and experience)
The brake pedal had a retention pin that will not come out (again unless you have proper tools and know how.) use a small c-clamp and put a socket over it. winding the c-clamp evenly distributes pressure and pushes it out effortlessly.
I do it all myself but it can be tedious and nerve wracking making sure you do scratch parts.
I really do like just the engine and tranny being chromed. To me it is the proper mix of black and chrome.

Take off the seat, unplug the 3 plugs that go to the tail lights and license plate light, and remove the 2 bolts on either side holding the strut to the frame. The whole fender and struts will come off in one piece. Set it down on a towel, and remove the struts from the fender. Then you may need to disassemble the plugs for the rear lights so you can pull the wiring through. Remove the bolt holding the rear signals to the struts. That should be it. It isn't difficult, just take your time so you don't scratch anything.

so I went and got a quote for (both fender rail supports, belt cover, brake lever, shifter, and light buckets) for about $85-90 which can be done tomorrow. Based on what ya'll (24v and xwino) said, I think I'll attempt to take off the parts tonight and take them tomorrow. Word is I'll be able to pick them up by 5 so if all goes according to plan I'll have some pics tomorrow night! Anything else ya'll can think of blacking out? I know flush gas cap was mentioned, will it be damaged in the process?

Never thought of that. I'll see how it looks without it. May go that route although I might as well throw it in, its not costing me anything. Do you know anything ramifications of throwing the flush gas cap in there?

Decided to go contrast on it, as there is just too much black to go chrome/billet. Finally got rid of the stock mirrors...the Ness ones are nice but extremely close to the grips....I dont remember them being that close on my chopper!! LOL Anyhow, I think they look pretty good....and I love the SMT Grips.
