Okay, I'm pretty sure I'm going to kick her out 5 degrees and do the boots and "black upper tubes." Does anyone know if these would work on a Night Train? They are 2" over stock so I could cut them if needed.

I like contrast and balance so chrome and black. Your bike looks sweet!

Thanks but I'm pretty much thinking black boots, black tubes, and chrome tripples, but who knows?

If the bike in question has a metallic paint job on it, a chrome front end and chrome accessories will look the best. If, however the bike has a straight out non metallic paint set, which some do, then a blacked out front-end and all black accessories will look right at home.

That's interesting, never thought about it that way, but my latest question was how to make the upper tubes black. I know I could get them PC-ed or making something out of an exhaust pipe but does anyone know if these would work?

Have just checked the eBay listing, it has a compatibility chart, so as long as you choose correctly then they'll work.
Maybe check sellers feedback from purchasers of the same item to get a qualified answer?

Isn't it a Night Train? LOL
