What did you do to your Dyna today?
If you were asking that of me Jay then no it is a much deeper and brighter blue with pearlesence than the factory paint. It is an old Harley colour so I will get the model and year datas from the painter.
Changed Oil in Engine, Tranny & Primary
Used Harley oil filter with Redline synthetic kit for Harleys. It’s at 15K miles so it should be good for 10K if needed. Don’t get a lot of riding time and never run hard anymore. Just cruising backroads enjoying retirement.
Had a look at the new paint today but the clears are not added to give it depth and life. I have seen and love the paint in how it will finish but was very pleased with the decals I had done and were added over silver base coat and peeled off after top coats were applied. The blue is much darker and deeper than it shows here as the winter light was not good to show true colour but will get that shown after it is all back together and I can get it in the right light. Have a set of 3 degree stearing head bearing cups and 3 inch over slugs on the way to add a little extra up front.
It is called Blue Streak and was a HD colour from 1995 to 2003

Tins are home and I couldn't be happier with how they have come out. They were outside on the stands when I got to Daves place and in the sunlight the colour is stunning with a great deal of life with the pearl in it but out of the light it changes to a darker blue and is just what I had wanted with the name and ghost flames setting it off perfectly. Wont assemble it all yet as I am waiting on the raked steering head cups which should be here in about 10 days and wen they replace the standard ones and the 3 inch slugs added and all together I will do a walk round video to show the various bits that have been changed over the last few months to be all ready for the coming riding weather. I am getting a sign made for her Blue Streak name to be added to the battery box cover.

Found out my bolt bushings are trashed on my rear caliper. So now I'm at the point of do I say *$&% it and buy better caliper/upgrade or just buy the bolts. Bolts/Bushing combo is STUPIDLY priced from Harley
