Default Chrome fork lowers
guys,

Looking for a good set of chrome fork lowers for my 2007 street glide. Any suggestions on what to buy and how much I should be spending?

I went with Ness Hot Legs and Progressive Monotubes, I like not looking at an axle nut. You could also just do a core swap with ***** Shiny for $175. Hot Legs are more expensive.

Just got done doing them to mine. I went with ***** Shiny. Guy was great to talk on the phone. He told me I would see them on Thurs and I got them on Sat. Chrome was good and install was flawless. I just need to send them back. As long as he dosent **** me (which he has no reason to) I would deal with him again.

Another vote for ***** Shiny here. Great looking chrome, good prices, and fast shipping.

Had chrome fork lowers on my last three Harleys, it's a good look.
Now days black is the new chrome, I like that look also, your choice.

I went with Ricks Plating also. Cheomed wheels, fork lowers, tins, and polished front brake rotors are much easier to maintain than what came standard on my 2009 UC.

You can get PM chrome lowers from Hogpro for $450 shipped. Probably the best price on PM you'll find.
