Decided to murder out my glide a couple months ago...the only parts currently powder coated are my fork lowers and fork covers. I also got my heat shields and VH twin slash slip-ons professionally ceramic coated. Everything else is either plasti-dip or VHT wrinkle black. Took about three days to do. Here's the final outcome...



And heres what my bike looks like today with 12" yaffe bars, re-upholstered seat, and windsplitter windshield







Currently have a set of TopShop stretched bags and fender in storage...waiting on side covers, CVO lights, wiring harness, and LED licence plate to come in before I mock-up the rear end. Then It'll be off to get the neck cut and raked for a 26". Will post pics in a couple of months after everything is done.

 

Looks good man.

 

Must be awesome living in paradise. I was in Hawaii once for a week in 2002, courtesy of the Navy to testify in a court martial (ended up not having to testify!) and it was without equal the best and most relaxed time I ever had in my life. If I could have figured out how to do it I would never have left. Beautiful state/island you are living on.

 

nice. thanks for the pics. I am thinking you are the first to post a front rake. Should look great.

 

looks good

 

Looking forward to how your rake comes out. When done post specs, how you did it, how much rake, how much cost, etc. I would like to do this for my 14 SGS as well. So far bike looks great.

 

Looks great!! Just purchased a charcoal grey Street Glide today and cant wait to black it out.

 

Looks good! Black in all the right places! Just don't understand why people spend 25000 on a bike then hit it with spray paint! I'm all for doing stuff on the cheap, but paint just doesn't hold up!

 

I did the motor to see how it holds up...I sanded, shot self-etch primer, then the VHT. My thought process it that I can always powdercoat later if the paint dont hold up. Saved me money for more important stuff on the bike...and all the plasti dip stuff will get PC'd when I start the tear down of my rear end and eventually my front end.

 

Very, very nice!
