If I decide to black out lowers should I have my existing lowers powder coated or buy gloss HD part #45500015. Any recommendations on powder coating shops?This is a sickness with no cure but to buy more parts Hey if u fellas know of any good women that like to ride harleys send her up to Alaska

Yeah, I like black too, but I'm a little biased on that one.

And as for the women, there just seems to be none around here in Southern California

If you are ordering the matte black lower forks off eBay, make sure you ask the vendor if they actually match denim black. I got mine that was not even close to denim black...yet vendor claims it matches stock paint. Not a big deal for me since I had to send a round of PC anyways. But I would of been more pissed if I didn't.

Thanks for the input fellas. Im leaning towards harleys gloss black so it will match the upper fork cover kit. My cost will be about $350 and at least it will match.Thanks for all the input.I really wish this fork set matched the wheels which are a matte black.

I did powder. Matches perfect and cost much less.
