Chrome Forks Tubes .......... YES (I have done it on every bike)

Braided cables .............. not needed but finish the look ( I did it on this bike)

You also need a Painted Inner Fairing (it really really pops if you have a bike other than Vivid Black)

He's right. It looks much better. Better to do now than later.

Ya don't need none of it.BUT I agree with your dealer it finishes it off.1st. thing I did was chrome lower legs,puttin on bars this winter and it will go back together with braided stainless.don't have to but will replace lines from T to the calipers also with stainless. like the one guy said you can get the legs cheaper on an exchange but if got the funds wheels off best time to do it.While apart might as well put in Progressive Monotubes in front end money well spent IMHO.Especially since its apart basically no more labor since apart or very little.

It never ends, buying your Harley is the least expensive part, you just keep raising to stay in.

I had the chrome front put on when I bought it because I also had it lowered. Did my own bars, Wild 1 575, and kept the black vinyl look on cables. Prefer function over form.

Hid dealer is ALREADY in the process of installing the bars.

The stock lower forks look like crap( no offense) everything on the bikes looks stunning and chrome and they go for damn flat aluminum, yuck. The chrome ones should be stock, period. I did mine before I picked up the bike, as well as polished rotors. So worth it
