Low-profile Chrome Fuel Tank Console on Deluxe

I got my stock seat on just as you guys said to do it, bend the tongue a little and bend the seat in the middle. Worked great, thanks all.
I dropped off my Ride Wright Fat Daddy wheels at the new mechanics this morning. Walked in, there was no one around. Heard them going over my bike in the next room, went in, and all I heard was:
"What kind of f-ing manufacturer makes f-ing pink spark plug wires? What kind of f-ing person wants to ruin a Harley by painting it f-ing pink? What the f---!!"
It wasn't the mechanic (who has been very professional), it was one of his guys.
I cleared my throat and they all turned around.
Most of us know that having a custom bike is about making it your own, what YOU want it to be. Lots of guys make theirs into skulls and **** and flames and death. I don't like any of that but I don't diss their choices, it's what they want their bike to be.
It sucked hearing his comments, but I supposed I'd better get used to it. A pink Harley just seems to set some guys off. I suppose they consider it sacrilege. I just hope I don't run into someone who hates it so much they decide to scratch it or tip it.

He was probably jealous that his wife/woman doesn't have a passion for riding and Harleys. I went to the International Motorcycle Show in Chicago with my wife and I wanted her to look at the pink Sportster.....I wish she wanted to ride!
You could have made him feel like a real *******....you should have told him it was for breast cancer!

Yeah... a couple of people have suggested I have that reply ready for the next time I run into such comments. And in fact I do have a breast cancer ribon horn cover. I think I will say that from now on, should shut em up

I don't have my original console but I do have the original leather tank panel. Here is a pic of that panel on top of the console. Don't know if this will help...

The tank console looks killer and cant wait to get mine, should go with the chrome forks that are getting fitted on the 10th, I also have front and rear calipers ordered.
