At least with the new Blacked Out softtails you won't have your Fork Lowers getting all corroded like the brushed aluminium finished ones have been doing for decades. A cheap fix for HD. I was painting everything black back in the '70's

That's exactly why I think it looks better. It looks proportionally correct, and bonus, likely performs way better.

Way better than the absurdly large tires on the Fat Boy and Breakout.

Good point... It's one of the things that I like about my Nightster.

When mine did that, I sanded the fork legs, buffed them and coated them with Harley bare aluminum wheel protectant. They still look like new.

Of course, the black is cool too.

Not looking for that wide, but a nice 160-170 would be perfect imo.
