I had mine powdercoated for 25 bucks. But I agree, I couldn't believe they were chrome. The fuel cap and gauge was also ridiculous but $250 later its fixed. Harley tax will get you everytime.

I'm in the Jackson (MS) area and just can't find a good powder coating outfit around here. I think I'm going to try VHT epoxy paint on my windshield trim. Definitely like the black digital fuel cap.

Great bikes everyone! I fell in love with this thing in the store and got mine in charcoal gray as well. Harley finally got it right with this one. Ordered some bars from Road 6 Customs and can't wait to get them and put them on.

And just for those that are still questioning the extra cost for no windshield and no passing lights.... I was talking to a fit specialist at a local shop. He just bought a standard 2017 RK. He put black lowers, switched some of the chrome for black parts and changed the rims. He said he was already over $3k into his mods and he was still far from blacking it out. If all I want is a shield for longer rides, I rather have that expense.

Thanks! The angle credit goes to my salesman. He took this when when he got it in the shop. To make me drool more I think HA!

To post the image, I just use the insert image icon in the Quick Reply box. Not sure if there is a better way, but what worked for me.
