Blacked out front ends and such (show me)
#21
Back in the old days (02) I completely disassembled my Electra Glide and powder coated or painted everything but the lites, gauges and motor black. This was before Harley or anyone else offered black parts. When I went to Sturgis in 03 I was swamped with people asking questions and taking photos. By 06 every other bike going down the street was blacked out. If you want to be unique you might look at some other options.
I did powder coat the gauge bezzels, and the light housings just not the lenses. I had the Rhinehart True Duals Black Ceramic coated. I disassembled footboards, grips, pegs, handlebars, even hardware and had them all powder coated. Now you can buy almost everything off the shelf.

I live in WA state............Have you looked at the weather channel lately? 2 weeks of snow/ice, and now were looking at major flooding. All I can do is spend time looking at it sitting in the garage! I have a good 2-3 months before I get really riding again

leohd....I had that same air cleaner on mine. I was on the road in Nebraska and the bracket broke. It bounced down the road at about 70mph and hit my wife's bike. Luckily she swerved and it just clipped her left side bending her clutch cable and breaking the lever. I don't know how it missed her hand. I still shake when I think of what could have happened if it had hit her in the head or body. We found it in the ditch and I still have it scuffed up with road rash.
