Painted the front end stuff last weekend - forks, trees, speedo mount, headlight ring and headlight. Also prepped the engine cases and rocker box covers for paint. Some of my nuts and bolts from HD arrived yesterday, allowing me to mock-up the front end. Oddly one of the wheel spacers is on backorder. I ran into a snag though, I mistakenly thought that the front axle was 1", but it is in fact 3/4" so I have to swap wheel bearings. Minor setback. Also I have a set of lower fork boots on the way...Soon as the spacer and boots come and I get the bearings swapped I can permanently mount the front end.

The bars will probably be my next purchase, right now I'm thinking about these from road6customs:
