Thanks, but there is blue in there too so not really Steelers. Plus, I'm from Cleveland so there's NOOOO WAY I would paint it for that team

My 05 Road King has the blacked out front end and Fat Boy front fender. Also black saddlebag guards. I love black bikes.

I've still got to do the blinkers and rear tail light assembly. When I eventually swap bars, they will be black as well as the tank console. For now I've done:

front end
crash bar
floor boards
fairing braces
saddle bag rails
fender struts
push bar
mirrors

Pretty much enerything that I could fit in my old oven I powdercoated myself with the exception of the enging covers. I have never had an issue with anything I did myself, but I felt more comfortable having the high heat parts done professionally. I have saved a bundle coating the small stuff myself.

By the way, thanks for all of the compliments on my 'king!!
