Let HER decide what to do with HER bike.
That's the safest strategy.

I used to go thru this delimma with my ex wife. Seemed to work best when I gave her a variety of options from which to pick. She wasn't deep enough into the life to know what COULD be done but she knew what she liked when she saw it. A little back and forth with pictures and ideas usually resulted in a great outcome.

Not the same look, but 21 inch fat spokes...

This is what I was thinking.When I did her Shadow,we went through the same thing.I would suggest powdering parts black,and she would say "I need to see what it will look like".....I'm not gonna powder parts just to "see" if it works.In the end,she was very happy with it,and hers usually got more props then mine when they were together.
