Default Reverse two tone motor?
I love contrasting looks on motors. Often, it's done on black cased motors and adding polished or chrome primary, cam cover, valve covers, etc.

Anyone ever taken one of the natural or grey cased motors and blacked out the primary, cam cover, etc? I'm thinking that could provide an interesting contrast.

Later,
Chrome...

I really like the look of that Dyna. Perfect mix of black, chrome and gray.

I thought some of Harley new models ( the blackline) ships with Tan Motor with Black Cylinder blocks already, it is an old school look for sure.. if I change my cylinders I may go this route as well.
