I gotta go with black...understated and old school, matches the mirrors too. i also like the black dash on the maroon bike. My chrome dash blinds me at certain times of day...going to powder coat it soon.

I think black will look better on your bike.

Got the new bar last in last night...now just need to find a day to install it.

any pointers to those who have either taken the stock sissy bar off or installed a new one?

is it a total tear down of the rear end to get the old one off? i cant find a lot of info on it except this thread.
