Default Chrome front fork kit from Harley
Just a quick question for the people that have bought the chrome front fork kit from Harley
Have any of you taking the reflectors off of the front forks? If so is the chrome just as nice underneath the reflectors?
I just don't want to remove the reflectors and have it look like crap underneath
Thanks for your time

They are chromed then the reflector was added. Ni dis coloring or a different shade.

Some things when exposed to the sun and something like a sticker or a reflector the area may leave a shadow because the covered area will remain as new.
It should have been no dis coloring or a different shade under the reflector when removed if new enough but chrome takes much longer than paint.

Reflectors didn't come in my kit either. I also didn't add them.

Working with a local indy shop, we sent out the factory fork lowers for chrome plating. The reflectors have been removed...
