Looking at more changes... turning more chrome into black.
All this plus the fender struts are going in for powdercoating. Standard HD is gloss-black, but I was thinking either matt-black or the HD-wrinkle-black
This is the current look
after I removed the rear fender I got to thinking.... should I also cut the fender and install new tail light
JFE commented in a seperate post "Yep, black is the way to go! Which colour do you think you will go with? Depends on 'the vision' I suppose. I've found that a bit of gloss black and Matt black across the bike works nicely."
I saw these strut covers online and liked the look. Thinking wrinkle finish might be too abrasive and overcook the look
not a clear photo, but like this matt finish
Just not sure about wrinkle finish
For my additional 2c, I'm not 100% on the wrinkle black strut either. Gloss for the win (I love my gloss black struts). Perhaps a different way of looking it is to swap out the belt guard for a gloss black one therefore easing the amount of 'wrinkle' on the eye? I have a black RSD one that is a bit like a Sportster guard and it looks primo IMO.
Now cleaned up the headlight... although still need to paint the headlight mounting post (and wash the bike.. lol)
High Beam
Low Beam
the light is certainly an improvment, been asked how it compares to HD's Daymaker... not sure but here are pics of the light in a lit street
OFF
LO BEAM
The pictures don't show a lot of difference, but it is noticeable. You can see the difference in reflective signs and directly behind the car.
