I got my chrome front end done at the HD dealer a few years ago over the winter when they were having a special. Really makes the front of the bike stand out.

Order some chrome ones off ebay. I just ordered everything I needed (Axle, spacers, cans, lower sliders) and had JB Cycles do the install. Saved a bundle, looks awesome.

While you're there, you may want to look at racetech springs and gold valve emulators to enhance the go with the show

Send your stockers or buy a set and send them to Ronnie Brown at Browns Plating. NONE better IMHO. Ronnie does incredible work.
