Ok bro remember you asked lol. I do like your lights, but on the LO particularly, you have to make em Black . Please make em black all of it. If not (to me) it looks as though your just throwing parts on it without thought.

I've only seen 1 other Lo running that set up though and I thought it looked good also. Good luck and remember it's JMO.


Ricky, I had to crack up when I saw that you were onto someting else bro! Just sayin lol

Yep, I asked and am ok with all opinions. I'm not bound to either way at the moment. I like the all black look too, so I'll probably end up PC'ing them. The lazy side of me was wanting to just leave them on there. I'm waiting on the visor rings to match the headlight and the signal relocation kit.

You asked opinions, I'll give you mine too. If you want contrast, make it gloss black. My wife got me the headlight trim ring/visor for christmas and had it PC'd flat black. What she didn't realize is that the headlight is gloss black. I put it on anyway, and I think it looks awesome since I've got that kind of theme throughout the bike. But I agree, putting that chrome on your bike makes it look like you just threw it on there. I say at least some sort of black. But, it's your bike, do what YOU want!! Have fun with it.

Beas, the light bar needs to be black. Just my 2 cents.

I wasnt going to post this untill the bike was finished, but what the hell. Here's a little taste of what I've been working on.

I'm trying to follow the rules of "Three" Only use three colors, anymore makes the bike look to busy. Im deleteing all the gloss black. I just sent all my other pieces to Joe at the powder pro (they do great work, awsome guys) Im sticking with the brushed/denim/chrome. If you do go with chrome make sure you just use it as an accent threw the whole bike so it ties.
