I have a Morocco Gold SGS. I'm changing alot of the chrome to black, but not all of it. I'm leaving the fork lowers as is, but changing the cowbells and directionals to black. I blacked out the exhaust, the tank console and the real light bar. Handlebars are black, as are the horn cover and the primary cover. I think a little contrast looks good.

got mine pretty well done. Have a bit more to do. If it gets above 3 degrees soon I'll wheel it out in the driveway for some pics. The bike came brilliant silver and black, I'm adding more black, removing some chrome and it already had red pinstripes from the factory so I may add a bit of that as well. I'm a firm believer in the concept that if a little of something looks good doesn't mean a lot will look better.

This is the exact same theme I have went with on my King. I am having some PM Revel Contract Cut wheels installed on it and should have pics of it by this weekend.

Work in Progress
I had a flat black Crossbones when they first came out. I loved the look of that bike with it's all black paint and just a bit of pin stripe. Wish I never sold it. Here is the next build I am working on. Trying to get it ready for the trip to Daytona. I am really digging the Amber Whiskey color against the blacked out contrast cut parts. What I find really interesting is how much the color grew on me. At first I hated it. Seriously thought it was the worst color choice ever produced. Then I saw it in the sunshine and imagined a blacked out mission plan. I am really happy at how it is turning out and glad I pulled the trigger.

Looking forward to seeing the bike finished.
Hopefully a Daytona picture.
