Default mirrors

Another tip regarding flipped mirrors. As everyone stated, it's really easy to do. But for those of you who prefer blacking out that pesky chrome and silver on your Iron, I found out that the new HD Forty-Eight (comes with flipped mirrors), has a part that can be used to replace the bolt on the flipped mirrors that is BLACK, only costs $5 each. You can't buy too many HD parts for $5 a piece. Next I want to cover up the silver bolt on the frame by the bars. They only sell chrome covers, so will have to paint it unless they make a black one for the Forty-Eight. Have to check that out yet. Anybody know ?

Great video. Love what you've done with your bike. Back In Black perfect tune to accompany the video. What did you make the fork cover out of ? I love skulls too.

Default blacking out bike

I have noticed that none of my fellow blacked out bike lovers have added black axel bolt covers. I put them on mine and love the look. Harley makes them, some of the few black parts they have available.

Great idea. Also like Black Label Society, as does my son. Thanks for the info.
