First off....that is a bad *** bike. That being said, I tend to agree with everyone else suggesting the white walls. I like white walls to begin with but particularly with your bike's paint job, (with the white and black) it will set that thing off big time.

Those wheels are the ****. IMO, since you clearly committed to black, you need to continue. Headlamps, etc... I would get rid of as much chrome as possible.
I think the headlamp and the tank console and a few other chrome pc.s are throwing me off.
If it were a balance of black and chrome, I would say you're good to go.
Just my opinion... Again, wheels are tuff.

some things I would change is black out the front end more. Lights, etc, then do some WW's, that would make the rest of your bike POP!!!! Change air cleaner and maybe the pulley. JMHO, Love your sled, but you can take it to another level.

I know its been stated but just to add to the comments I think you have too much black and chrome mixed. I really like the blk/wht paint and hope you keep it but I think I would go in the direction with more black and just a little chrome for accents. I may be partial tho:
New A/C in the round classic style in gloss black or chrome
Gloss black oil tank
Black struts
Black light bar and headlight
Then leave your pipes chrome and the other small things you have chrome on the engine and tail lights for accent. Then see how it looks.
I just think there is too much of both. I changed out the trans and cam cover on my engine to wrinkle black so the pipe would stand out against it.

I agree here u need to pick modern or classic the 2 don't mesh. Also it's a fine dance with the black and chrome. I have the same paint scheme and wanted the classic look. White walls if u go the classic route. But with your bars and cleaner I say go modern paint your bike black and black out more parts like country deluxe

I dig the black bars man. I'm a fan of mixin up black-chrome-black. So I'd say chrome the grips and chrome the spok on your wheels, but leave the bars! That would mix it up but still look mean as hell. I'm torn on going with white walls, have someone photo shop some on. Good lookin bike though regardless
