Default New Look on My Rocker

Just got my wheels back from powder coat. What to you think. HD has come out with a chrome set of Rocker wheels ($700) but for me the black sets the Rocker apart. What do you think? What should I have blacked out next?

What is between the seat and fender?
Does it rub the paint off?

I think the wheels look GREAT! Maybe if your headlight housing is 2 piece, black out the rear half leaving a chrome trim ring on front.

Looks eerily familiar. I am a fan of the black wheels.

I put a HD Soft Fork Bag in the gap under the seat. I assumed it would rub the paint off so I put a piece of clear vinyl on the fender. The bag provides a little storage. Nothing hard that might dammage the fender, usually a beer koozie and set of night glasses.

Sweet black-out wheels. Next, I'd either ceramic coat the exhaust black, or maybe get the engine covers done (i.e. primary, timer, etc...). Bike's looking good!
