The chrome front end kit definitely is one the upgrades that makes a huge difference. Looks great.

Chrome front end is one of the biggest chrome improvement eye catcher that can be made to bike. Gives the bikes a more refined look

I was going to have a set of the stock bolts chrome plated but decide to pop on the HD bolt covers. They were for previous year models so I wound up with a couple of tiny covers that are not utilized.

On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the most difficult, I would rate it at a 3-4, mainly based on the attention needed to keep from scratching anything. It helped to have a second pair of hands around to go on and off with the fender and for putting the top cap back on during assembly as I didn't have a tool or fabricate a way to hold the assembly in a vise.

Better yet, save yourself some money and don't buy that kit with the two little left over caps....buy the same identical 4 caps from that kit which are pn#43227-03 @ $5.41 each for a total of $21.64
