A guy out in California who sells them on eBay as "hcsguy". These were takeoffs, that he polishes out, and then triple chromes them.....they are really outstanding in person.

He stated that he fully polished them on the insides facing the wheel that the factory ones don't have....I'm going to have to check that out....all I know is that they look like they belong on a 20K bike.

Very pleased.

P.S. the quality of the Arlen Ness "cowbells" is outstanding as well. Damn expensive, but I guess I just "wanted them", ya know?

Joe - those are some sweet look'n forks/cowbells. Orange + chrome = very nice. Great job! How long did it take to tear into the front assembly/re-assemble (start - finish)? I'm getting ready to do mine in black when they're back from JRK/Powder Pro...

I ckickened out and had the dealer do them. Took him 2 hours....so it would have been about 8 hours for me.

I put the Matching Progressive 940's on the rear this afternoon, and took it up and down the road.....very nice....no more "air".

70 degrees here today! INCREDIBLE, me and Steve "Lionism13" got a ride in today....man it was nice to get a break from the cold and ice/snow!
