Default thoughts on what else to black out

so, i've been running just the mid pegs and have decided i'm gonna go back to mids (with some highway pegs) and i'm gonna need to send in the brake pedal to get coated black and thought, while i'm there, might as well do a few other things.

i'm pretty sure i'm gonna do the elbow on my air cleaner (wrinkle) and i'm trying to decide if i should do anything else. the obvious suggestion is the fender struts (wrinkle or satin) but i'm afraid that will be too much black in the back (course....i currently think it's too much chrome in the back..!)

there is the triple trees but i'm not sure i wanna deal with that much labor.

i'm pretty happy with the little bits of shiny that i do have...

.....any other thoughts...?



btw....i also think i'm gonna put on the black front rotor.

I was just looking at your bike on another thread....nice bike! I would definately do the front end....trees, and sliders! I think that would finish off your look! Already looks great, but IMO, thats what I would do.

Chris, I agree with the strut covers,
and,
I would also consider the derby cover,
and,
the linkage from the forward controls across to the trans control.
Battery Box band?? maybe.

elbow onthe air cleaner sounds like a plus as well.

Of course your machine already looks very good,
A few changes may be a plus.

Keep us updated.

Have you checked out the New Harley rims they have on thier site? I am sure they are not eveyones cup of tea but I like them and I think they would look awesome on your ride! IMO...
I would like to get a set for my ride but too much $$$$.

Later,
Joe

Air cleaner intake tube, would look nice with a black powerder coat instead of the flashy chrome. It caught my eye.

I just did my rotors and pulley in gloss black... ill post some pics as soon as i get to the shop... they look awesome though!!! takes some work... but i did my push rod covers as well and get more complemnts on that than you would ever think! I do like the subtle chrome accents added to your bike though... i say if it is not black or chrome do it in black... lower tubes, battery band, rotors, AND MAN I LOVE YOUR BIKE!!! that was one of the first bikes i saw when got on this forum about a year back or so... and joined after i saw it... so clean and smooth... i love the clean lines... not to much, just enough! those pinstripe flames just set it off!
