I've got a cheap solution to your leather wrapped fork tubes.... it's called black duct tape. LOL

Looks good. Those are 12''s? Hmm..Maybe when I bought mine they were 10'' minis because yours look bigger than mine.

I have 16'' going on this week/early next.

Looks good though. I have thought about painting my nightster.

You have leather wraps or something covering the chrome on your forks? I need to black mine out and need ideas.
