My Sporty that is. Got the painted swing arm and side covers back and put her all back together. New chrome sprocket cover, hardware, upper/lower belt guards, laydown chrome plate holder and Kuryakyn LED turn signals. A month ago I also had the fork lowers replaced with chrome, levers, master cylinder, switch housings and cables. Happy boy, runs great after ICM reflash!

That looks really good. The painted swingarm and oil tank really added to the bike.

Yes Hillbilly, I'm having fun, I just wished it would warm up now!!

Where did you get it done and how much did it set you back???


A local guy (central PA) I know did the paint. He specializes in custom jobs so my paint job didn't tax his abilities much. He applied 3 coats of base Luxury Blue then clear coated and baked the pieces. They turned out perfectly! The battery cover, oil tank cover and swingarm set me back $170. H-D wanted $165 just for the covers with a 5 - 6 week delivery time! I can't believe how much nicer my bike looks now. Compare it now to when I first got it.
