That would be the finishing touch, I bought the custom paint set online and it has about 7 shades of red. Matching it on the bags and fairing would have been too expensive (would have just as well to bought a streetglide) so I decided to go with the black contrast look to flow the bike. I hate the fact that Harley and the parts market decides for riders "what should be chrome, or black, or painted, or only fits a certain model or year" it leaves out the creativity for the person who wants to be different from the crowd. I have powder coated some parts that are unavailable in black.

 

If thats a stock red all you need is the harley red and clear coat.. buy a gun, do it yourself.. no big deal.. just learn how to wet sand and polish.. If I dont get a street glide I'll be spraying myself... paint and all chems with clear to do the whole bike is about $300-400 plus a gun which is like $50. But if you like it how it is then its a mute point.. just doesnt look finished to me.

BTW.. how did you get that SG front wheel to fit? looks sweet.

Far from stock red, it was custom painted with 7 different mixes of HOK, the only person who could duplicate it would be the original painter and I don't know who that is. Yea if it were stock color I would have already sprayed it and for much less than $400, I have 4 guns 2 compressors. I sprayed-wet sanded the speaker lids, they come unfinished.
Difficult to see detail in photo due to sun, logo is not a decal and the flames are outlined with airbrush broken line accents, just painting the bags and fairing solid color would look worse than just being black.



On the front wheel, the wheel centers on the front of a softail, just the rotor will not center in the caliper, get a machine shop to shave .20 on the left side rotor face and it will line right up. Check photos I posted in another HDforum https://www.hdforums.com/forum/wheel...l#post12086803

 

bought a cycle visions mounting kit....I was looking at the 4" extended calvary customs saddle bags...any feedback on these?

 

Some really really nice bikes in this thread. Amazing

 

My 93 Heritage, just put the bags on so I haven't had time to have them sprayed yet.

 

I kinda like the red and black.

 

I added a new Danny Gray seat late last year to finish my bike off.

 

Little at a time.....
