I bought the braided fuel cross over line....I didn't like it. However, a chrome front end sounds interesting. Hmmm. How do I get this expense past my wife? It might be time for creative financing.

Because of the sound (and subsequent headache) that came from my upgrade exhaust system on my Sportster, I decided to keep the enginge and exhaust stock. I do not think I could stand a long ride with a loud exhaust system.

I see a chromed front end in your future. Also your switch housings and switches are not chromed. You could do the lighted mirror thing. You could put Ultra lowers on it. Can't see your wheels, are they chromed? Fuel line cover right under the tank. Take the sticker off the guard rail by the right saddlebag. And the number one best thing to put on a bike? MILES! You're not done yet.

buy a 2009 and start over, or put the extra cash in the bank and plan a long motorcyle trip with friends, and enjoy the ride
