Default Chromed the front end

Well here she is after the front end chrome. I think new handle bars are next. Suggestions will be appreciated.

Front end looks good! How hard was it to put on?

I think your bars look good too; are they stock? Apes would be nice though, eh?

Nice lookin bike!I like it.Had mine done when I bought the bike.I think the stock forks look like crap.Chrome or black should be stock,but then they couldn't sock you for more money.

Looks great.

Suggestions? Change out the bottom front fender skirt to the one that matches your passenger floorboard covers. Looks much better than the stock skirt.

Looks good!

Suggestions: Bars, Cables, Chrome Fender Trim, Chrome Rotars, Chrome Calipers, etc. (those should set you back for a little while) lol
