Default New chrome lowers
Just finished installing chrome forks. Was easier than I thought I was. I left the tubes on the bike. Did not need to remove them. Also have the Yaffe flushed axle to end it. Sliders $275 to my door. Cowbells $89 from Harley.

Yes eBay. Seller RICK9662. He does exchanges too. Looks like pain because I got tools everywhere. Fairly easy.

Hardest part was breaking loose the 6mm screw on the bottom. I used all hand tools that's why.
