This is where im at so far... Ive done some blacking out myself but not sure how it will look if i black it all out with the Dark Blue Denim paint. Im thinking about more black with hints of chrome to off set it a little. What do Yall think...

Looks good. And yeah, I see what your saying about blacking out your bike with that paint choice. I'd say throw some chrome on there to make it pop.

I think the wheels and rocker boxes would be enough pop and everything else black...but I'm kind of a KROMophobe

I like it but would black out the air cleaner cover and the horn and get a headlight brow cover and do that black as well to give the headlight a different shape & look. JMO

Nice job! Did you rattlecan or powdercoat the strut covers?

I'm on a similar track to you...blacking out here and there but leaving chrome or polished aluminum in some places. I'll probably leave my battery band silver...rear turn signals too (but relocated)...........just enough contrast to really make stuff pop.

I agree. The air cover looks like a wart sticking out on there as does the horn cover without some accenting chrome compliments.

Black and blue go good together, I did the horn cover and the blackfin covers.
