RE: chrome front end
Me and a buddy did mine...... 3 hr job. We took it out of the triple tree (Which means dissassembling the inner fairing and ignition switch.) If you have the ignition switch tool, your life will be alot easier, but we messed with if for about 20minute with a screw driver to realign the housing.
If you don't have the compression tool, we just used a table vice to hold the rod as we pushed/threaded the springs back in.
Some say you don't need to take it out of the triple tree, but........we did..alot easier to work with...
Good Luck, and it's doable!!!!

I have all the parts for the chrome front end, and checked out a link on the install. Seems easy to do. Am I missing anything? Has anybody done this? What problems can arise?

Since you are just swapping out the lowers for chrome.........it's even easier since you don't have to remove them from the triple-trees.
