You may have read here that I had painted-parts "issues", and have been waiting to get my "4" fixed since it was knocked over in Mar '06. The stealer finally got all the parts, and finished the work Saturday morning.
Since part of the repair order had them tearing apart the primary anyway, I asked them to order me a chrome inner primary housing (IPH) and install it at the same time. Stealer Bob confirmed, and lifted $365 from my wallet-side.
I arrived to pick up my bike Saturday morning with eager anticipation of it being whole again, and could not wait to see the new chrome additions. But alas, as always I was terribley dissapointed to be met with the news that nobody makes a chrome IPH for the FXR: not H-D, not Custom Crome, not Drag Specialties, not Krome Werks, nobody! Yeah, apparantly stealer Bob had ordered and confirmed receipt of a shiny new chrome IPH for a SOFTAIL! no difference there, is there?? Aren't all H-D parts interchangeable??? Duh! See the thread about educating Stealership staff about CVO's and expand it to educating them about MOTORCYCLE's)
So, having finished venting, my question to you - the knowledgeable and wise, is this: Do you know or have you ever seen a chrome IPH for an FXR? Do you know where such might be available? I find it overwhelmingly hard to believe that H-D MoCo's "best" model ever, extremely popular for a decade in the era of excess never had a chrome replacement for such a significant component. Do I really have to buy a second IPH and have it dipped myself?
