With my Sport Glide, I'm honestly torn between going more black and going more chrome. I don't think it has the best balance of both in stock form, so going one way or the other seems appropriate. Yours looks pretty sweet with the crinkle black primary cover!

For purely selfish reasons, I want to see you go chrome. Everyone does black nowadays and I don't think I have seen a chromed out FLSB. So, whatever your personal tastes, I am asking you to do it for me.

I think you should go varying shades of deep purple.

The black primary & chrome derby cover look good. I think especially because you don’t have a black bike. The complete murdered out look has been so done.

The right amount of chrome offset on a black bike/ frame / motor like yours is classic always looks good and never goes out of style.

Cool. I've been considering going wrinkle black outer primary on mine, but I'm not sure yet. Yours looks nice. I wonder how it would look with a red Sport Glide?

Yeah I agree. The murdered out look, although I don’t necessarily mind, has been done. Black with chrome accents is my goal. I think stock was a little too chrome with black accents. Nothing wrong with that either if that’s what you’re in to. But I’m not, so I must pay beau coup bucks for a few black parts here and there.

I did a touch more chrome which is strange for me but it just seems to work. Also did the Willie G skull theme

Ooo... looks nice. Can you tell me about the bags? With the Sumax brackets, do they fit well? They look great!
