Default Chrome front end teaser pics

Well, they finished it today. It was raining so bad here today and the guy at the dealership was working so hard cleaning it up, that I opted not to ride it home. It is supposed to **** again tomorrow, and I leave on Thursday to go out of town for 10 days. I opted to leave it there, while I am gone, my parts to do the street glide turn signals should get here from Zanottis, so hopefully that will be done while I am gone. I am just doing the SG's rear, standard bullets are going on the front. So.....I won't see her again until the 11th of April, I did snag a few pics while the guy was cleaning it up, the front end is awesome. Not the best pics, it was just too damn shiny

I waited four years to do mine 'cause I figured once I did the chrome front-end I'd be spending $$$ for chrome calipers; then I'd spend more $$$ doing rotors and wheels. In other words, a $400 chrome front-end would end up a $2K project.

So far so good. Haven't done the chrome calipers but I am looking at them.

Nice job. Looking forward to more pics when you get back.

I did mine in stages, it's done now, I'm sticking with the black calipers though. I like the contrast.
