one thing I considered doing is getting the chrome VH Big Radius, and powder coating the shields. Seen some like that looked sweet. Than have all but the upper forks black. Not sure.

No need to get them powdercoated, they come that way if you want them.

They do look nice with the little bit of chrome they put on them.
