Chrome fork install, finally got it done.
Today, I finally took the time to install the chrome front end I have had in a box for over a month.
Wow, what a difference it made in the looks of the bike. With the chrome wheels it really pops. I am very, very, pleased with the outcome.
It really was not that bad of a job. I just took my time and exercised a lot of patience. I even took the time to re-aim the headlamp per the instructions in the manual. It was aimed way off from the factory.
It was just getting dark outside when I finished, so I could'nt get any real good pics. I took these in the "Harley Garage" . LOL

The only special tools I used were a 6mm extended allen socket and a piece of 1 1/2" PVC pipe about 10" long.
I cut a slot in it lengthwise and spread it open with a screwdiver, then heated it with a heatgun to open it up to the proper size. The PVC makes a great seal installer.
