when I bought my shield I was having the same thoughts...
for a Lo, I would go with the extra cost of the MoCo shield, simply for the black hardware.. from what I could find the Memphis Shades only have chrome hardware. I know, "just buy the other, have it painted/powdercoated".. but I am a lazy bastard, and I knew that I would just install the chrome stuff, and "get around toit"... lol and never do it, and always be pissed at myself.. so I spent the extra chedar...
I think the MoCo shield looks really nice on the Lo.
Memphis Shades does have the mounting "Trigger Lock" in black. But they dont currently have the "windshield cross brace and uprights in black" as previuosly posted they could be painted or powder coated.
