Default Front end color - opinions

2010 Vivid Black FXDC, I'm in the process of adding a Fat Bob front end with the HD stinger chrome wheels. I'm leaving the sliders gloss black, had the trees done in satin black and adding on chrome fat boy lo risers and SS 2010 Wide Glide bars. Saw a few different black/chrome combos in another thread and...........

I'm thinking of getting the bars done in satin black as well so the bars/switches would be black, chrome risers then back to black on the trees, chrome covers on the fork dust boots and black sliders with chrome rims and black disc rotors.

If it were me I'd go with gloss black instead of satin, but it's an interesting idea. What about the levers?

Well, I thought about it some more and said WTH - took the bars and levers to the PC'r. I compared the trees I had done earlier and its a near perfect match to the HD controls and switches so I think it will look good.
