Ouch. Sorry man. I think i nicked the first fork I tried it on but it's hard to tell. I was much more careful after that and let the reflector heat up alot more. The back reflectors were easy. The first front was a total bitch till I found my technique. Black looks good though T_T . Josewales had a chrome shop do some work for him and they matched the factory finish pretty good. You might hit him up for more info.

I believe that the lowers are clear coated. It might buff out.

They just have to ruin everything. I was to young to drink back then but there was always a cooler of beer tied to one of our tubes. I miss Idaho. Had lots of fun up there. Hunting,fishing and riding.

70F's is great so far for t-shirt weather. I got in a nice run yesterday (and today). Yesterday's run was called the "Bordello Run". It began at one of the local Harley Davidson dealerships running to the next county to various "brothels", a strip club, and then ended at a saloon where there was a live band, your choice of steak or chicken, and so on. Attached is a photo of some of the bikes.

FYI, most of the brothels don't allow camera equipment. Some don't allow cell phones. However, there were a "few" outside trying to drum up some business.

Hey.
Care to let me know why you are getting rid of the V&H? Only reason I'm asking is because that's the exhaust I'm looking to go with in a few weeks.

Thanks.

They do sound great. A-lot of people compliment them. I heard the V&H 2into1/ 2into2 side by side. Went with the 2into2 glad I did.

Going for a different look. It's getting bags, and the true duals compliment the bags so well. Also, I want to get rid of some of the bark... They are a quality, good sounding set of pipes, just not what im looking for right now. I'm not one that likes to attract undue attention, and the 2-2 big radius does that!!

Don't hesitate if you like the look!
