Nearly new, 168 miles, when it came to me to have a few changes made....we black powder coated nearly everything that was chrome, added cams, TTS, fullsac XD pipe, 2.25 cores, RSD black ops Air cleaner,  Monotubes in front and suspension tech shocks in the rear.....

[hd-dude]

Powder coating was done to all the floorboard brackets, pans, and mounts. Foot pegs and shifter pegs were taken apart to have their bodies coated, shift linkage and shift arms, oil cooler cover, engine guard, signals and fairing mounts....all black now 

[hd-dude]

Lifter blocks, pushrods tubes, saddlebag mounts, etc,etc....all black. Heat shields were painted using a mil spec flat black high heat paint. This stuff does not burn off or change color.

Another...lower legs and cowbells black!

[hd-dude]

Cleaned up the rear with the kury license plate frame....and had it powder coated black of course!

[hd-dude]

Another motor shot. I really really really like this ac kit. I am wanting one for my road glide!

[hd-dude]

And the Dyno sheet....110hp and 117 tq. A bit soft on the bottom due to the 2.25 cores but really come alive at 2750 rpm and pulls hard through redline.

Beautiful bike!

It's gorgeous Jim.  There's one detail there I wonder about though.  To each his own tastes of course.  But I'm not a fan of the gloss black outer primary right against the granite inner.  To me it's a contrast rather than a complement.  The smaller timer and tranny covers on the other side don't stand out as much.  But each time I see the gloss black outer primary I wish they offered one to match the engine.

Thanks, and I Agreed Don, IF it was a granite inner. It's black wrinkle as well as the engine and tranny case. Pictures don't show it well. The outer primary, cam cover and rocker covers were black from the moco. We added the rest. And I also would have done something different to the timer and derby cover but the customer wanted those left alone. All and all it looks much better than the mix of chrome and black the way came!

Just went back and looked here on the PC.  Was seeing it on a cell phone screen last night.  Oops.... 


I'd have to be careful or picky with all the wrinkle/denim colors and gloss next to them.  Some guys may love the combinations.  For me though they often just seem to clash a bit.  More so when there closer to each other like the granite or black against a gloss black.  Have seen a red denim bike with some gloss black against it and  liked that better.  It's a good thing we're all at least a little different.  Would get boring otherwise.
