Nice, about all you need now is some chrome wheels.
(and chrome sprocket)

Chrome rims are EXPENSIVE! I looked into a set of 1200T rims which are the same as the one's on my SuperLow except they have machined accents on the 'spokes'. They would swap right in except both the front and rear rims are 1" narrower than the ones on my bike.

Strangely enough, those don't appeal to me. I do have a set of the Cut Back side covers on the bike, and have thought about repainting the black painted part in Superior Blue though.
So jealous of you guys that don't live on the ocean, at least as far as the clear coated aluminum parts go.

I have found the clear coat is holding the oxidised aluminium in place so once that is removed, easily with a paint stripper, you can go at it with all manner of abrasives to get a mirror finish or just enough to get them cleaned up. Once done a coat of wax is all they need.
I put 671 miles on the clock over the weekend in the filthiest weather I have ridden in so far. Dirty doesn't describe it with the muck and water baked onto the engine and shiny bits.
Made some covers for the saddlebag locks. When standing still in a downpour they let water into the bag. Just used some faux leather, waterproof glue and the weakest Velcro.
Changed out the battery. Got 8 years out of the OE unit so I decided to go with another H-D battery. Didn't even have to use my sledge! Finished late yesterday and hoping to test it out with a ride today to make sure everything still works correctly. I was surprised to have to remove the seat and unplug a few connectors to get to the positive terminal but otherwise it was pretty easy.
