My calipers are red right now but I like the orange idea a lot.
My calipers are starting to look a little ratty - they may end up Harley Orange one of these weekends! I have a XLT 4x4 so the orange will be more subtle on my truck than your HD, but I think it would be a great look either way!

what color is your truck? if it is black i think it would look really cool. but im too afraid to be the first one to do it. plus i dont know how hard it would be to change it back. if it is a black truck send me pics if you ever do it. i still think it would look sweet behind my 20s though.

I'm getting out the paint this weekend and some wire wrap. I'm going to start painting the calipers and start painting the engine this weekend with a friend. He has painted his engine in his Ranger and did an awsome job. Looks pimpin too. Also going to wrap the engine wires in orange tubing I got from a store. Hopefully should look good. I'm not going overboard though/. DOn't want to much orange in there.

A store here in CAlgary called Performance Muffler had some lying around in the back that the owner gave me. I'll stop by tonight to see if they have any left.
Ya I will post pics as soon as I can get my damn scanner figured out.

I stopped by last night to see if there was any more wire wrap. He only had about 1 1/2 left so he is going to look into finding where he ordered it from. He believs it's not from a car supply shop by the eletrical supply warehouse down the road. So i'm contacting a friend who works there and am going to get him to look into it also.
