Default Chrome Front end?

Curious given ease & price.. what are some good ways to chrome up the forks on my 2000 Ultra? It just doesn't look right with all the other chrome not to have the forks matched up.

If it were me, I'd buy a chrome front end kit and install it myself. I'd also take the time to update the internals and do away with the air.

If you go down the Harley chromed path...try Zanotti HD's internet site (zanottimotor.com), you'll save a bit of coin. Also if it's in the budget, you may want to look into Progressive Suspensions new monotube fork cartridges which offer performance improvements. Not trying to upsell, just thought I'd throw it out there since you'll have the lowers off when you chrome the front end ;o)

Also check out Chicago HD, I just checked on my 2010 and they were a bit cheaper than Zanottis, Only about $30 or $40 but that is still money to spend on something else.

Going Black on mine. Chromed out my last ride. Hope I like it as much as I did with the Chrome.

I had the front on my Ultra changed. Chrome forks new lower springs and 2 new chrome full floating rotors. $1100 installed.

The front forks have been catching my eye's lately, when I see a bike with the chrome it just stands out. I think this will be one of my tax return projects for next year.

I agree my tax return should go to chrome.

You can shop around for exchange chrome parts for lot less money and put polished rotors with the $$ you will save.
