Anyone replace chrome parts with black on a chrome motor?

I have a vivid black street glide and am contemplating replacing some components with black components to blend the bike a little bitter. Things like derby cover, horn, etc....curious to see pictures of black pieces put onto a chrome motor.

Thank you.

No, no, it's usually chrome on black. Black on Chrome is something new.

gloss black engine parts look like a million bucks, flat looks cheap to me.
