Default BLACKED OUT FRONT END

Any pics of a blacked out FL front end. I have an extra set of lowers, cow bells, and an extra nacelle that I'm thinking of getting powdercoated. I have a black 04 Fatboy. What do you guys think?

Wasn't sure of the idea, but recently saw one for sale on ebay, it looked so good I've thought about it myself. If you have the extra parts, why not? I'll see if I can pull up those pictures and post them.

Personally I like the looks on my SG.

Probably look just as sweet on a FB.

Black is the new chrome!

Saw your posting from a few months ago. Thinking about blacking out the front end of my 03 fatboy. Did you ever find those pics? Would love to see how it looks. I bet it looks killer.

Thanks
Drew

I love black on bikes. I am going to black out my lower fork sliders on my FB in the future. I am going with a Black/Chrome contrast theme with my bike. Tomorrow I am adding a chrome Master Cylinder cover, chrome switches, and chrome hardware to my black controls. I also have a set of the black axle covers to install. I think black stategically placed makes the chrome pop that much more.
