Default Chrome Suggestions!

I just recently purchased a 07 Street glide and it needs some Chrome. I have ordered a 23" front rim, chrome lower forks, single rotor conversion kit, new fender and a few small pieces of chrome. I am running out of funds to spend on the bike at the moment and need to slow down and buy a little here and there.

My question is....what are some suggestions about what I should buy first? I am wondering what chrome covers will really stand out and set the bike off. With the big rim I want to chrome around the engine area to set it off as well.

I have had Big Dogs for the past few years so I am not familiar with everything they have to offer for this bike.

Thanks for your help!

Congrats on the Street Glide!! Welcome to the forum. Sounds like your off to a good start. Take your time and look around at other bikes and I'm sure you'll find plenty more to spend your money on.

I just added HD Nostagic Floorboard inserts to my Ultra and can't believe how much they changed the look of the bike.

I have a solid Chrome back wheel that I will be using. I have also ordered a new fender with new mounting hardware for the clearence. I will check on having to cut and weld to increase the rake. Thanks.

You will at least have to install raked triple trees to run the 23'', but I believe the post above is also right about frame modifications needed.
