I did not have those striped. They are of course painted to match and polished up. Also Joe Hooper should have my cylinder, transmission, and crank as well.....,

I have thought about getting a personal plate on a couple of my bikes but never do because I don't want the bike to be memorable to people when I'm being a jackass on the road
Paint looks awesome! Can't wait to see this thing come back together

My first thought on seeing that was 'Navy', not 'envy'. Not sure if that helps with your decision.

but i know here in oklahoma you are required by law to have the other plate n possession with the vehicle.and ,they can pull you over just to check.
they way i ride they don't need another reason to pull me over :whistle: .

I'm trying to swap the frontend on my sportster with ZRX frontend. I'm also trying to make HD front hub to work with the ZRX forks/brakes setup. If it's not too much to ask, do you mind sharing what you did to make things work on the conversion?

Custom triple trees is most likely your best solution. A lot of the Kawasaki and Suzuki stuff is direct swap with the use of a bearing conversion kit from all ballz bearings.

Yes, I plan on pressing out my sporty triple tree stem and transplant on the Zrx triple lower. What I'm mainly interested in knowing is how to make HD hub work in ZRX forks/brakes setup. Thank you for replying though.
