Knowing that the RevTech chrome wheels would garner some attention, Mark took a die grinder to the inside of the rear pulley and smoothed out the rough casting, and then hand polished it. The pulley, along with the side covers, rocker boxes, and various other parts, were shipped off to Meclec for chroming. Later, as they reassembled the bike, polished rotors were added, along with chrome brake covers.	While all this work was going on, the motor was left stock and never taken from the frame. There have been some minor intake and exhaust changes, however, and these are the third set of pipes, designed to keep out of Dia's way.
To round out the Dark-to-shiny look of the bike, chrome handlebar controls replaced the stock items and 4" pullback risers brought the bars closer to the rider. The gauges presented a real problem with Dia's height, so the too-tall stock gauges were scrapped, and a billet tach mount was reworked to fit a small speedometer, which was mounted at an angle so Dia could see over it.	This past summer, Dia and Mark took their bikes for a run to Sturgis, and Dia logged over 1,000 miles in the Black Hills. They topped the trip with a new seat from Bar Enterprises that allows Dia a lower and more forward position on the bike, which she loves.
As for paint, Dia selected the House of Kolor Candy Purple base color, which was accented with a charcoal metallic highlight design. To provide a sparkle to the paint, Mark mixed in some silver flake for the first layer of clear coat, which was then topped with several more layers of straight clear coat to give the paint a three-dimensional feel.	As much as she rides the bike, Dia is still a bit uncomfortable with the attention she gets when riding it. In fact, when many small women see her bike, they ask to sit on it. They then walk away knowing that they, too, can ride a Harley and not settle for something less. AIM
