Why paint your bike?
Why add chrome?
Why black out?
Why by different clothes - when you could just wear black pants and a white shirt everyday - day after day.

see where I am going with this lol

I would imagine it is because he likes the way it looks. (and in my eyes ~ it looks good)

Lookin' sweet! Nothin better than a softail bagger!

FYI: try it out at speed to make sure it's all good. My buddy noticed a considerable shake above 70-75mph when he went to a 23" on his fatboy, below that it was smooth as silk. He went with the HHI rake kit and had it lowered 2" as well. Right now it is under the knife again to see if they can straighten it out. He also is adding 1/2" back in to the front-end as he bottomed out a few times and scratched his new stretched nacelle.
