Are you selling any HC Mercury parts?

Might be nice to have spares parts.

All of them as a set...I don't want to piece it out.

First thing I did was installed the new CC skirt and CC front fender

I like the chrome skirt better 

[GSPLewie]

No offense intended, but this seems absolutely INSANE! Why not trade for one? Seems like it'd be a wash with the cost of all the parts vs taxes, etc.

Was this a ton of work?  You could have bought the carbon crystal and put a chrome 120 in for cheaper....?

[ZVO]

Few things

I bought the tins as an entire set and although I won't say how much it was, I will say that it was a reasonable price.

I owe 25k, why would I trade it in and lose all my equity?

The factory carbon Crystal bike is blacked out save for the pipes, I still have an awesome chrome front end, chrome primary, chrome engine parts, chrome engine guards, chrome handle bars, chrome controls.

Also if I sell my set...Key word is If, I will have doubled my money.

And I did all the work myself. I have done a tin swap before so I have plenty of experience.

Good points ZVO - a trade in would most likely result in a financial bloodbath as I learned when investigating trading my SEUC at several dealerships. I wasn't planning to make a change, but was curious about what the dealer had to say. No good news from that quarter - I'll be keeping my bike, which I like quite well, forever...

Looking good with all the chrome, will be one of a kind

Maybe there is someone out there who wants to convert their Carbon Crystal to a HC Mercury and you can swap/sell parts to one another because the lowers in HC w the rest Carbon--well, let's just say that is really different.

Gotta give you credit for venturing into this project--at least you can convert it back if you choose. Are you riding this as you go thru your conversion?

[ZVO]

Yes still riding it like this...I don't mind I don't have the bags on so it looks like this everywhere I go

[ZVO]

This just showed up at the dealer...now I can see what mine could look like. The blacked out engine looks nice.

[ZVO]

I'm on the home stretch...got the fairing on and did one saddlebag I'll finish up the other bag later...

Pro tip that amp is a mother to get off its on a metal bracket that's glued to the saddlebag...

[D-N-D]

Looks Great nice job Brother !!!

[Pita]

What are you planning for the lowers?

[ZVO]

Thanks DND

I have the lowers coming.

So what does the final bike look like?
