I bought a 2010 FLHX front wheel from ebay and sent it to Impress Chrome Plating in California. They chrome the wheel and then paint the spokes black (or match the color of your bike if you prefer or even leave it all chrome. I bought the chrome legs from them too. Their website is http://www.ippworks.name/

I love the chrome forks. They make a big difference in the appearance of the bike, in my opinion. That may be because for the most part, if it doesn't come painted or black on the stock bike, then it's chrome. I think the front forks are really the only place that the bike is brushed aluminum or whatever (i.e., non-chrome). So the change makes total sense.

Vick - your bike looks awesome!

I like the chrome front end and chromed wheels. I am going with a chrome front end this coming winter on my 2009 SG.
