I think it's a good thing you didn't listen to those who said not to do it because I think they look great! My intentions are to do the same thing as well as getting my seat redone in black and white to match the bike. I think it adds that "Classic" look to a bike.

that thing is awesome looking! I think i'm going white grips as well. Though that seat you have is really nice, I think this one would add to the look you are going for even more.

That's the seat I have got for my Slim (just need to fit the bugger to the bike )

I also have the HD white vintage grips as well.

I think it's an awesome look,
I want to do the same with my Heritage.
Don't have the funds right now though,
I'd like to do the seat and bags,
And ww tires. Bike is a brand new 2013,
Not going to have funds too soon. Lol!
