Getting new shocks soon and want to replace my springs in the front also.

While I have the front apart I am either going to have the lowers Powder coated gloss black or go chrome. Trying to stay with chrome and gloss black so up in the air on which to go.

I am leaning towards gloss black with the chrome axle nut covers and chrome tops.

Black Lowers front=Black Shocks rear
or
Chrome Lowers front=Chrome Shocks rear

Either will look good, but I dont care for the look when the front and back are different.

black would look good with black shocks.... also have you thought about painting the heads black like an 09 streetbob? pretty easy to do.
