Default Engine compartment almost done

Brown showed up on Friday with my custom painted carbon fiber, done by Pure Image Design and today brown dropped off some more chrome by Creative Engine Covers.

I have to thank Bill and Brenda for their awesome products and their speedy delivery. I have YET to have to wait on anything being backordered from them!

So, as they Harley guys say, if it don't go..Chrome it!!

sounds good, If I can ever get past the "honey do" list

I see you got alot of work done at Boos. I have some TPIS LTs and Random Tech cats and xpipe coming.

Wondering who would be the best/reasonable place to take it. I had a baseline a few weeks ago.
