The only silver I want on my bike is the bolts, nuts and center rocker box cover, the top cover would also be black. I would like to get my hubs done in black, but I am in no hurry to get my rims torn apart.
The chrome that I have left is, the front and rear sigs, rear sig relocation pieces, Licience plate bracket (Kuryahkyn), A/C, pipes (want the Samson Big Guns 3 "Cannons" - Massive 2 1/2" One Piece Full Coverage Heat Shields) and the whole stock front end to include 1" loner Industries Riser.
All that I want in some sort of black.
Do you have a piece by piece price break down that your shop uses as a standard?

I epoxied my headlight ring and signals (whick have the run, break conversion wire kit). Then flat blacked my battery band, and shock covers top and bottom leaving coils silver.
Plan on epoxy coating lower arms this winter.
Have chrome pipes and chrome 16" apes. I think its a good combo for now but may go more black too!

I have a 08 street bob came with chrome fender struts, then obviously had the chrome shock covers. I personally thought the chrome looked cheap and then, looks much better black! I cut off those ugly strut covers which HD did in later models.

Do you remeber which kit it was? I love te straight up on the bars, I'm not big on the bars that tapper out, but I also want them close to the same width as the trees. Any help would be great.

I'm bias to the mix!! I kind of like mine with the black bars and the black lowers with shinny in between!! I thought about powdering the trees, but I don't think I am.

COMPLETE package that includes 1 1/4" FAT 12" NARROW ape hangers with Stainless Steel braided Throttle cables, clutch cable, and front brake line for ALL Harley models 1990-2010 (except Touring models with a fairing and some Sportster models see note.) The handle bars do reduce in size to 1" at the riser clamp and the grip ends to accept stock controls. They are also pre-drilled for internal wiring. 12" ( 1 1/4" diameter, 35" width, 7" center width, 12.5" base width, 8" pullback ) 14" ( 1 1/4" diameter, 35" width, 7" center width, 12.5" base width, 8.5" pullback ) 16" ( 1 1/4" diameter, 36" width, 7" center width, 12.5" base width, 8.5" pullback ) No more hassle trying to round up the right length cables, we already know what you need. Just let us know the year and model of your bike and riser height when you make payment, and we will handle the rest.
$344.95 also have powder coated black bars. You can also ask for the black pearl cables instead of chrome. mine are black with chrome bars

Just looking through this forum should give you a pretty good idea how different combonations of black and chrome look.
I really like the way some of the black handlebars look. JaronB's bike a couple of posts up looks awesome with the black bars and black lower fork sliders.
