Got rid of the ugly pin stripes

I had the same feeling about the pin stripes on my 2007 FLHTC but could not bring myself to sand down a perfectly good vivid black fender, fairing, and gas tank so I went to EBAY and got some replacements and stored the originals.
Now my vivid black FLHTC is just vivid black with tank emblems from a 1962 panhead.
Sometimes bein a little different makes alot of difference when there is not another scoot in the area like yours !
If it makes Ya HAPPY-- Just DO IT !
Happy Trail's

I used a pint and it was $136. Very high quality paint. My screen name came from my last bike that was black.
