Can't see the other side but to me that brake arm just sticks out on your bike. Maybe some new control arms? Something contrast cut would look good and would match the A/C you are planning to to install.

I plan on getting the brake arm powder coated black soon.

Nice job on U bike.. Look great.

Being older than most in here, I don't really care for that style of the stock rear fender.

I do like the front fender, but IMO Ur bike would look better with a longer style fender on the rear like the front to make the overall flow even better..

Here's what I have in mind on the rear fender for ur bike.

Do they make your handlebars in chrome? (And maybe 10 - 14") I assume yours are 16"? Love the look of those bars!

Just ride it .. if you must change, I would say get rid of the headlight, the bullet long ones are very 'pro-street' and not fitting the theme of your bike.

Nice work sir. I like some contrast, hence the black and chrome. I think the total blacked out look is a bit overdone. For a less expensive option, check out what Dickey did to the football on one of his bikes; then maybe add some type of contrasting insert...
Looks righteous tho'...
