Not bad looking.
From the blog:
Harley-Davidson claims that it’s not, that it’s not a chrome process and that they are the first to offer this treatment in the motorcycle industry.
Harley states that Black Ice is the product of a proprietary treatment that combines depth with a highly reflective surface. It’s a look that complements both chrome and black accessories, and many colors.
This new surface finish has been introduced on three custom wheel sets. Roulette custom wheels (P/N 43300116 17-inch front, P/N 40900113 16-inch rear; $549.95 each) and Agitator custom wheels (P/N 43300115 19-inch front, P/N 40900112 18-inch rear; $749.95 each), both for select 2009-later Touring models. Black Ice is also offered on V-Rod 5-Spoke wheels (P/N 55083-11 19-inch front, 55082-11 18-inch rear; $649.95 each) for the 2009-later V-Rod MuscleŽ and 2012 Night RodŽ Special.

I remember looking at this idea about 2 years ago when the dealer brought back from a stateside meeting a catalog with this concept in it ..... and like Harley does were testing public opinion before release so 2 years down the line as with the getting up to speed Moco they have announced them ...... Progress!

My original idea for my Lo was to have all of the satin and chrome parts plated in black chrome. I thought it would look really good with the black denim paint and I havent seen anyone else do it. I looked into the costs and it is really ridiculous. It costs 50% more than regular chrome plating so just as an example it would have been about $300-350 just for my primary cover.
I love the look and idea but it is still very costly to have done.

I think I remember seeing spacer kits in the MoCo catalog that are for conversions... but I'm not sure. You don't need to do just the bearings... you also have to do the inner and outer spacers, probably, and you also have to get the axle to fit your lower legs.
