Default Blacking out my Street Glide

Thought I'd pass along a few pics of my 2010SG. I got quite a few parts powder coated black over the past couple weeks and wanted to show it off. I know I still have quite a ways to go but let me know what you think!

Looks real good man. Im in the long process of doing my road glide. Front end looks great, thats part of my next drop off. Did you do your floor pans? I did and it made a noticeable difference. Never realized there was so much chrome until you start to black things out. Good Luck

Yes, my floorboard pans were PC'd as well. I did all the chrome except for what's tied to the engine. My exhaust, outer primary, kick stand and tourpak hardware are next. You are right, you don't realize how much chrome is on these things!!

Did you pull the front end yourself? If so, how difficult was it? Friend of mine does a lot of my work for me but if its not to bad of a job I might do it myself.
Are you planning on doing your front wheel?

Looks good!

I've got a LOT of mine Plasti-Dipped... which works great in some applications, and not so much in others.

I plan to get everything PC'd, but hate to take the down time on the bike.... I'm slowly amassing new and take-off parts to send in, to shorten my down time.
