I would think any exhaust shop could make something like that for you using your stock headpipes.

Whatever floats your boat. It doesn't affect how it rides, but we do have to like what we ride…

Enjoying this thread and saw the above statement.

Someone forgot to tell Slim owners that. Seems many on this forum are blacked out, too. They do look fine. Nice platform for retro work, too... tomp

Default Blacked Out

I've had more comments about my bike since its been blacked out then ever before. Screw shining!! I bought a 2013 black street glide and my fiancé now has my Street Bob... Wow, more comments then ever! Maybe its because she's riding it also but its still a nice looking bike!

Thanks! They were worth it! Don't see many Fat Daddy's around here. Pretty much set with the bike unless I have a 95" kit put in it.

The blacked out motor look w/ denim black is killer. I had a night train some time ago just hated it on trips. I wish they'd bring it back...such a kick *** bike! The chrome just reminds me of my bathroom...chrome faucet & shower heads. My street glide ALWAYS had water spots on its chrome, and I was constantly cleaning it...less maintenance the better!

Black is stock, chrome is "custom"... Hell even my browser is chrome!

But keep a unique contrast color. I did white.

I'm a fan of the blacked out look. But contrast is good. Have to have something to break up the darkness.
