My White Gold Pearl 07 XL883C just got it last Thursday

 

I'll probably be wrapping my pipes, losing the sprocket cover, and maybe chopping the cam cover soon, but...

 

instead of losin the sprocket cover you should chop it to match. I'm doing the same thing with the cam cover but using a spiderweb pattern on my sprocket cover that flows into it. and yeah, wrap them pipes...lol. I hate chrome on Nightsters...just looks outta place. Use scotchbrite on the unwrapped portion of the pipes...it looks awesome.

Another view of my bike

 

I've toyed with the idea of chopping the sprocket cover and may do so in the future. I love a "mechanical" look, so I prefer naked sprockets right now.
I like your scotchbrite idea, but have never seen the the outcome on chrome. Do you have pics?

 

So I got my first bike last night. 08 Nightster. I'm in love.

 

Very nice !!!
Happy for you and welcome to the XL club !!!

 

Thanks beuz. I got it figured out now.
