Not much more we can do unless we all buy sidecars so there's more places to hang the bling.

WhachutalkinboutCapo ?

                                We're already the MoCo's profit margin.

My $20,000 2007 Road Glide is as I sit here today, a $40,000 Faux SERG It's about $1,000 away from having more chrome than Elvis and that bike is sooooooooo chromed out it's - - - - - well that's how it came to be named Elvis. I'm doing my part as are you (with TWO CVO's) and every other brother and sister on this site. We ARE the bling bling of the H-D world. Not much more we can do unless we all buy sidecars so there's more places to hang the bling.

Uh oh, I better stop adding to the Nana and get some new bling for Elvis.

Hell, what am I talking about, there is nothing I can add to Elvis.  Hell when someone gets under the bags and gets a chrome rear caliper and chrome shocks, which fall under "stealth chrome", you know they've run out of ideas.  Hell BB do I need to take a flashlight and see if you chromed the inside of the gas tank? HD and Kury need to get on it and come up with some new bling. ;D ;D ;D

Mark,
        Check out the Kuryakn Tappet Block Accent, the hidden air horns that tuck inside of the saddlebags behind the shocks and the right rear lower frame cover that will compliment the mid frame covers you already have on the bike. It covers up that big ugly brkt/frame mess that the passenger footboard brkts boldt to. Also, you could pull the swingarm and have it chromed. Talk to Hogasm if you decided to do this. On the H-D side of things, there is the new H-D exhaust brkt covers. Also, the H-D Chrome Rear Fender Extension w/light.

        Beyond that, my long range plan for Elvis hads been eventually to do some stuff in GOLD buddy. The wire wheel spokes, the trim rings around the headlight, spotlamps, directionals and speedo. There's a company that can plate the plastic trim rings. Hell, according to what I saw, they can plate a skull. Anyway, that was always the plan. Once I ran out of places to chrome, change a small amount of it to gold to accent the chrome and add to the cache of the bike as being totally exclusive.

     Does that give you something to work on ?
