Well my bike is all white and chrome, but I recognize a nice bike when I see one. Well done.

I love it! No one says you can't have SOME chrome on a blacked out bike! I like the contrast with a little chrome and a whole lot of black!

nice looking bike . i also noticed it has no license plate at all . was it trailered to the photoshoot ?

It looks like his plate is under the tour pak. Which makes me wonder why the extra mounting plate below the light. Oh well, we all need a littly mystery in our lives.

LOL... Actually quite few parts were de-chromed and then painted black. For sure not fully blacked-out yet but, money permitting, getting there slowly, like yours...LOL

I am thinking adding the gloss black engine covers kit too, including primary, when my bike goes in for its next service, all will depend of my budget at the time.

Very nice............
Thank you

Yes front bumper rail and front fender chromed skirt are on the list to be blacked-out. For sure a Street Glide rear fender will be a plus look wise, thansk for the advise.
