Default Blacked out front end ideas

Putting black front end on next week...on a vivid black 2012 fxdc...black lowers...trees..apes..black magnum cables...black hd mirrors...plan on doing fork boots and vinyl cover for the stems...heres my dilemma...i currently have chrome signals up front with the hd signal relocation which is chrome...i didnt think of of it till now but its gonna look stupid all black front end with chrome signals on the forks...so i ordered black housing for the signal but that doesnt take care of the signal brackets....does anyone have a similiar look up front they can show me?? Any blacked out front end ideas, pics would be great....now my next dilemma is the stock risers and top clamp are chrome...how will this look?? Anyone here have pics of a similiar set up??again my bars are 17in black apes....can i order any new short riser??and if i do what about the top clamp??excuse my ignorance here please...

Cool

Bury bars (recoated cause they looked shitty from burly), triple trees, & lowers all done by Joe.........some eye candy included for more pleasurable viewing.




Joe did the bike on the left as well
