Just wondering did you consider the glossy finish?

The bike looks good.

I all ways wondered what the nightster would look like with those wheels.

Keep up the good work.

Enjoy your HD!

ive been cutting out a harley sticker and i am going to use the backing to it and i already almost had to start over twice cause of cutting
i couldnt tell you what the horsepower gains were but they were decent
i wanted the flat paint look dont have to worry about any scratches and if i want the glossy look i still have my stock black tank and fender

I love the semi-gloss and flat styles...I think with those "racing stripes" that you need a couple slashes like the Corvette GS or a number in a circle or somthing like that...

Cant wait to see what you come up with.

Looks good so far.
but you need just something simple on the oil bag and batt tray.
it dont take much to set it off.
just a ideal= glue a old silver dollar coin there?
or some shell casing there? (bullet)
in all just make it yours
Ride Safe

I say pinstripe a bar and shield on the oil and battery covers. Paint looks good, I like old school looks and nothing says old school like pin striping.

Default Very Nice!

I like what you did. Maybe Just the Harley Skull on the oil & battery covers using the same paint as the stripes.
