I want to chrome the front end
What will it take and approximately what will be the $$ for getting chrome forks?
In addition to that, I want to finish it out by getting a chrome front wheel, chrome rotors, and a smaller fender that hugs the tire and shows more of the wheel.
If I go for a larger diameter wheel will it affect the touring ride??
Also, if I go with just one rotor on front how much will that affect my front braking?

I put the chrome front end kit on from Harley for RKC
Chrome Front End Kit 46335-08 449.95
I also put the lowering kit in because I plan on putting a 21" up front. I did most of the work myself, except for replacing the springs. That cost $150 at the dealership. (I get all my parts at 20% off because my dealer does not want me going to on-line purchases, at least that was what I told them I would do if they could not compete)
I would not go with a single rotor up front, being able to stop is important to me. Having dual rotors help with that.
Front wheels are going to run from $1000 and up depending on what you get. I had my dealer spec out Performance Machine wheels at $2200 for front and back (that was back in October). Then there is the replacement tires and labor to figure in.
If you have a million dollars, you can spend it.

a lot will depend on WHO does the labor to take the lowers off.. If I were you - I would pull the lowers off - take them to the dealer - have them pull them apart and do the chrome - then YOU install them back on the bike.. IF not, the dealer will be happy to do all the labor $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Harley - so I have the original forks chromed? Hell I was figuring on having to buy completely new front forks already chromed.
Also, I'm hooked up with the head Harley wrench for Austin PD. He does work on the side, nights and weekends. He changed out my handlebars and cables for me. Works on bikes like they're his own. Sweet.
Now that I mention it, I haven't consulted with him on this project.....just threw it out on this forum. Anyway, all input is appreciated!
