Default Thanks
I appreciate it Mark. This is my first Harley and I can see where you can spend a lot of coins on it. But it's worth it.

I'd say start from the front with chrome lowers and real chrome calipers.

And then take it easy. Too much chrome is a distraction in my little opinion. I've never changed my bars because I like slow speed handling capabilities and wide bars change it too much for me.

Here's mine - 2012 road king. Next I am going to add saddlebag rails and a lot of lights to the front and back. Joe
