Default Advice for Custom Street Glide

Hi all,

I have a 2010 Iron that I love and I am planning on adding to my collection I am looking to buy a stock Street Glide and completely black it out. I want it to look like the bike below...



The guys who customised the bike were called Southeast Custom Cycles but have merged with a company called the Bike Exchange. I have also seen this bike that I like done by Freedomcycles.



Has anyone had any experience with any of these guys? Can you recommend a company that would do a good job? I'm looking for someone to help me source a used 2012 Street Glide, do the customisation then ship it out to me. For the customisation all I essentially want is to black out the bike and change exhaust system, so it's mostly a cosmetic change.

Any help is appreciated...

Ship it where? This almost sounds exactly like one of those Craigslist scams lol. Why cant you just buy a bike, take to a local Indy, and have them do it?

I deal with Ric of Sotheast and Steve from The Bike Exchange daily. They are great guys to do business with.

I live in Dubai and the cost of buying a brand new stock Street Glide is the same as the cost of doing everything in the US (buying a used bike, customising and shipping), and the option of customising it out here is not even possible due to the fact that there are only a few places that do this stuff and they aren't very good and extremely expensive.

@Hogpro - thanks for the feedback
