I don't care for design. Makes a proud looking bike look cheap in my opinion. Sorry. Do as you wish though since it's your opinion that counts.

Would look great on a blacked out black bike.

I'd like the solid black. I think the contrast cut looks dated. It looks like something from a 90's Harley.

I like the smooth look with no visible axle/nut so I'm a yes vote. I have a lot of contrast cut stuff on my bike...but I'd be good with either gloss black, chrome or contrast depending on the rest of the bike. I like the look of a white touring bike with gloss black everything else myself.

After seeing them photoshopped on the bike, I’d say go with black.

Well guys, I appreciate of of your opinions, but ultimately, I’m the one who has to like them. And I do. I’ve already purchased them, so I’ll post pictures after I get them mounted. Hopefully I can change some of your minds. Until then thanks!

P.S. I think I’m a pretty good judge of front ends (avatar)

the installed parts will look a whole lot better than the Photoshopped parts,

I think you'll like them. If not, so what, just swap them again

I put it in the shop today. I’m also having them do Progressive monotube front shocks and, they’re going to powder coat my fuel console, gloss black. I should have it back by next weekend.
