Looks super except for those hideous, side-shot exhaust pipes. Side-shots are the ugliest exhaust pipes on the planet (next to the stock Fatbob ones).

if your leg rubs on the air cleaner it'll rub the paint off, even powder coat eventually. i say go open AC and go through your CD collection an put the coolest one you can find on it.

and here's a pic of the blacked out headlight brow incase you where considering that

Don't really know, just put it on a couple of days ago and rode it for the first time yesterday. Had a similar one on my Heritage and it wasn't that bad.

I would keep going with the blacking it out - the Horn cover and air cleaner cover look out of place. If you want to 'make it pop' go with some pinstriping. I like bikes blacked out with a different color paint.

Looks good so far...next : I'd loose the air cleaner ( too big / too much chrome) go with something more old skool. I'd also put on some smoked turn signal covers and black rear shocks.
