Great job...I prefer the look of polished aluminum over cheezy (IMO) chrome any day....

Legs look great. I'm thinking about pulling lots of parts of the Dyna and polishing them this winter. Some good info on this thread.

Nothin wrong with a little bit of elbow grease, the forks look really good. Time well spent.
