I was going to paint the headlight and battery box to match but I actually like it the way it looks now, don't want to overdue it. Just want some chrome rocker covers, then i'm done (i hope)

Looks great. Personal point of view here... Ditch the black gators, it will kill the contrast of the brushed to the surrounding black like the Black Triple Trees controls and headlight.
Have the rocker boxes black chrome plated for unusual contrast to the grey, brushed, and gloss black tones. Swap out all hardware with chrome or polished pieces to contrast the black.
Black powder-coat the rims and invest in some twisted black chrome spokes with chrome or polished ends.
