Personally, I don't like 'em, but come on, it's YOUR bike. Why care what anyone else thinks?

in my opinion, diamond cutting will make any bike look better, whether its all blacked out, (makes a great contrast cut) or a chrome *****,( adds to the details of all the chrome). and it really looks good if you wind up powder coating the engine to a matching or accenting color of your bike. don't just powdercoat the cylinders and heads though, that looks kinda funny. It also give you c chance to do some head work and piston changes, and if nothing else you can at least install the thinner head gaskets and get a little more squeeze from your changes, I personally always get my cylinders and heads cut. just that much more unique to all the other bikes out there. with your black bike, you don't need to worry about powder coating, and I think it would look fantastic with what you have already done. You might consider custom push rod tubes as well! ( ok, here it goes!! right down that slippery slope!!! good luck!)
