Thanks....I had a denim sporty before, never really been a chrome guy so I blacked it out. I know there will be opinions who liked the "before" and thats all good, but for me I wanted something blacked out - something you don't see every day.
That's why I love Harleys - we all get to customize to our own likes
Thanks for the comments - good or bad

I like it, just think you need a few more red accents like the black air cleaner ring with red script and a few other small things like that

Yea, you're right....some more red accent should blend it a little more. This is one of those projects I wasn't going to know until I did it, will add some red here and there and see where it goes....thx
