Has anyone found a good source for chrome lower forks?
Has anyone found a good source for chrome lower forks?
no idea what it's like in your area, but here on the left coast every Harley dealer and most independent shops offer a chrome exchange on lower legs,swingarms etc. My preference is paint or powdercoat,I hate polishing.
HD, J&P and Dennis Kirk are good places to start looking at forks. Also, consider taking your originals to a local chromer...quite a bit cheaper...

The one and only time I had chrome forks was in 03 when I had an accident and destroyed my front end. I asked the service manager if I could substitute the chrome forks for the original ones. All I had to pay was the difference between the two, which wasn't very much, and the labor was already paid for. I wouldn't do it again if I had to pay full price.
Rick, you're right if you don't mind or can do the removal/install yourself and be without the bike for days. The dealer can do it in a day.
I've installed several sets of the HD chrome lowers, they look good and the chrome seems to be holding up pretty good.

If you have a triglide, the fork lowers are 3/4 of an inch longer than stock baggers. Harley sells them specifically for the trike
