Default Chrome Front End

Hey everyone,
Finally today I'm having the new chrome upper and lower fork sliders installed! I also bought chrome axle spacers and all the extra chrome bolts and covers from HD!! I'll post pics as soon as I get it back!

Congrats Kenny,

Mine came with them from the factory. This is the first bike I've owned with the chrome front end. I'll never have another bike without it.

Brad,

I had our Police Dept. Harley mechanic "who is a friend of mine" do the work. He also did a few other minor things. He charged $200.00 dollars for the labor, and had the bike back to me in 3 hours!!!! I also have a local privately owned Harley shop down the road, and I think they also charge around $200.00 dollars to replace the upper and lower sliders.
