Chrome front end kit
Thinking about getting the front forks chromed. Harley has the Front end kit that comes with; upper fork slider, fork slider, chrome wheel spacer, axle nut cover, slider drain screw kit, upper fork nut cover, ect. for $549.95.
They also have just the Chrome Lower Fork sliders for $419.
I already have axle nut covers and I think the upper fork slider covers are already shiny.
So My question is, do I need the kit, or just the lower fork sliders?

J&P cycles has lower leg kits for under $200. Unless you are looking for award winning show chrome, you can get by with these.
I have the J&P chrome lower legs on my RG. When ya order them, be sure of the brake mounting points on each leg.

This is the route I went too. 2 years on my setup and not an issue at all.

They are shiny, but they're stainless. You would be able to see the difference unless your not too worried or picky about it.

You will need the cowbells as well as they are polished, not chrome. We really like our smooth bottom lowers which are much slicker than the Harley chrome version. They do cost a little bit more but for the smooth and clean look you get they are well worth it. Great deals are being made on these everyday.
You can see a comparison of these and the stock chrome lowers on our site here.
