paughco makes some very nice black, chrome and brass options, I'm thinkin about going that route with my wide glide, I just wish I could see a pic of one done the way I want mine before pulling the trigger. 2 under, fenderless and with a 23" wheel

I like the classic look of the Paughco, but I would agree with the others that you should try to get it in black or have it PC'd.

I agree with most of this. I had a 2008 CVO springer ST hot rod. Looked great and hauled a$$ with the 110. Didn't notice any handling issue, but it was a soft tail. It is higher maintenance for sure. 5K service was $250 more to rebuild it...

Definitely Paughco. Another looks like a part of the Sauron's bike.

The paughco, the other one looks like it belongs on an OCC bike. I'd surprised if you couldn't get black.
