Default Black Lowers....and triples?

UPDATE: I decided to powder both triples and the lowers result pics on page 6 let me know what you think I really like it!!!



I am trying to decide if I want to black out just my lowers or the lowers and the triples. I am leaning at just the lowers. Would be much easier and I am going for the black and chrome contrast. The black triples would look good to but then its not as much shiny. I am also looking at the visor style headlamp trim ring in chrome and may have that powdered black. Whatcha guys think. Here are a few pics of my bike as it sits.




"Microsoft paint" Job for example

I say both, the fork tubes will give the contrast in the front end, or least that's my plan for my fat bob and coating the headlight housing

Taking off the trees are way easier and faster taking apart the lowers

Default Black lowers and triple trees

Kinda was in the same boat decided to powdercoat lowers only. I happen to have the 11 SB with integrated risers, at some point I my want to those out change out that being said would be a waste of time and money to do the trees. I do like the idea of powdercoating lowers and trees.

I like black, but pipes, bars, and fork upper/lower should all be the same.

Can you try some vinyl wrap to see how you like it first?
