Very nice!! Black forks, with smoked turn sigs would look nice. Also, HD has a Black LED Headlamp, that would look awesome, but pretty spendy.

Thanks! I cannot wait to get the front end done! Smoked T/S lenses are on the way, and I am going to just P/C the headlight ring and call it a day......But I am curious about that LED headlamp.

OMG man that thing looks SWEET! Nice job. Make sure to post pics once you're done, and I use the term done loosely. Are we ever really done? Cheers

I just replaced my bulb with a Phillips extreme white. A buddy and I split the cost (it was a 2 pack). The light is stupid bright and white. Now I am searching for Aux lamp replacements, since they are a slightly yellow tint. It never stops...

I just put a Performance Machines breather on a buddies bike, nice set up, looks great, but it will be a pain to pull the breather to clean it. It has a great set-up to stop the oil blow by.

Looks sweet. I agree on the black forks. I would also black out the fairing skirt. (that are over looked often)
