    Nice, just curious why Black on the Rack, is it because it's in the Back? :joyful:

    Not a chrome guy. They didn't have the saddle bag rails in black that I could find else I'd have got them. I could get the latches in black but I'm a funny guy,won't buy what I already have even if they are chrome.

    Just wondered noticing the contrast,

    In the winter when yer stuck inside stroking yer fire pit
    take the bag guards off and have them powdercoated black.

    that would look nice.... (not that it doesn't now, it's fine just sayin)

    In fact eastwood sells a home powder coat kit, only problem is ya need
    an oven and the wife might not like you heating up stuff like
    that in her oven plus it could screw up the taste of cornbread and such...

    Can't say I much care for the fairing bra. The back trunk to me would look nicer in chrome to match the other chrome pieces but what the heck we all can't agree on everything.
    The bag guards used to come standard on bikes, even the front fender trim now yea pay more for the bike and have to pay for those extras, that's ?Harley for yea.

    The flowers look good and a good idea. :D

    Yeah it was a toss up between gloss black or chrome on the rack. I know chrome would look more uniformed. I just really don't like chrome. They have gloss black latches but I can see throwing away perfectly good latches already on it. I can buy gloss black down tubes and shroud. But I won't for the same reasons of the latches. So I live with it.

    I like the fairing bra. I put them on all my fairings. Despite what some may say they do not marr the paint. They do protect the fairing from the occasional debre kicked up by especially 18 wheelers, dirt roads.

    You got a Patriots sticker on there. Does that mean your tire pressure is a few pounds low. Oooooh smack!

    Had to do it sorry lol.

    Bike looks good though.
