Did it intentionally. Since I'll be 67, when I posted the pictures on my FB page, I mentioned that I decided that I better get a new bike before I joined the folks in the photos background.

Frankly, I hope this is not my last new bike but realistically it seems that for some reason(s) Vietnam vets have an uphill struggle to make it into old old age. Working hard to and hoping to beat the odds.

Well....truly THANK YOU for your service!!
Vietnam veterans deserve as many "thank you's" screamed loudly from the highest hilltops as can possibly be received for what you guys had to endure there and here!
And here's to beating the odds!

IMHO...I like the blacked out look with splashes of chrome throughout. One of my favorite looking bikes, 10 years ago dealer had on the showroom floor a blacked out Night Train with twisted chrome spokes, chrome big radius pipes, chrome Arlen Ness grips and pegs. Still remember that bike.

The chrome makes the black "pop". Chrome rotors may look better than blacked out ones. Chrome mirrors might look sharp too!

Merry Christmas to all!!

Great looking sled
The only thing I'm not big on is the single pipe on a bagger would probably throw a ghost pipe on but that's me.

Thanks ejvette and others. Agree about the single pipe and eventually will most probably add the ghost pipe.
