do they make such a thing? I am thinking about shortening the rear struts so I can bob the rear fender but still have enough support for a passenger seat.

My thought was to cut the strut covers, fabricate new ends and have them re-chromed, but then I wondered if maybe there was a model that came with non chrome struts that would fit...

any ideas?

 

yeah mine are non chrome or should i say unchromed on a stock super glide they are i guess brushed aluminium,just plain aluminum.if yours are chorme and in good shape and wanting to, i will trade stright up.let me know not sure what your plans are

 

what year is your bike?

 

You could always paint em................

 

yeah i wasnt thinking when i type it mine is an 07 i dont think mine will work for you they may.you could probably check with a dealer and find out

 

The Super Glide sport came with wrinkle black strut covers. I think they made one in '03.

 

and they are about $150 each... get em powdercoated for like $50 for both...
A semi gloss powder matches the frame perfect..

 

+1 on semi gloss black matching the frame and swing arm. My lowers and trees will soon wear semi gloss black as well.

 

I agree that would look good... I'm just going a different direction with the bike. I have always been a big fan of red and chrome. especially after seeing the SE bikes with this scheme on various HD showroom floors. I really like blacked out bikes, but this won't be one of them.

I may go with a paint to match the rest of the bike scheme though if it comes down to it.
