looks awesome, should definitely come that way......mind explaining how you did it? did you just tape up real good and cover the rest of the bike for overspray or did you actually disassemble it partially?

PitchBlackKM and Thremix, I was going to buy everything off ebay already coated and have someone install it, but I decided to give it a shot on my own after seeing one of the members on here do it thereself. I didn't want to mess anything up so I left everything on and taped it off it didn't take me no time to do it and i only used like half a to do it. Basicaly no disasembly just tape and paint.

Thanks man, I was thinking of going to eBay my self, I was thinking though, would H-D not have the black paint for the iron? I mean I got the rough grey from them for $20.00 and it has that texture.

I'm also thinking of getting black 12" springs in the back and put a bad lander seat with some kind of sissy bar that won't take away from the look.

I taped them ALL, a buddy of mine was there so he helped me out so it didn't take to long. That would be a good idea with the black iron paint.
