White rubber.
I don't know if what I want exists but I am looking any way and if anyone can help me find them or point me in the right direction that would be GREAT! I have a Black and White Deluxe. This winter, 1 of my mods is going to be getting my stock seat modified with a lower profile and a gel pack in it. Then have it finished in black and white to match the bike's paint scheme. Having said that I am looking for all white rubber pieces for my bike to finish it off, white rubber hand grips, white rubber toe and heel shifters pieces, white rubber brake petal pad and even white rubber for both front and rear running boards. The hands grips are not an issue, it's all the other rubber pieces I am looking for that is proving to be a challenge in finding. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help or point me in the right direction.

Might want to go with a set of fat white plug wires while you're at it. Should make a nice finishing touch. It would be a huge improvement over the red IMO, especially with all the other white accents you plan to use.
I bought a set of Grey wires from this ebay seller. Simple transaction & very quick shipping. http://www.ebay.com/itm/TWISTED-12mm...item4846123c1c

I have a 2012 Heritage I had painted black and white. I would love the white grips HD came out with this year for that "old school" look. My only concern would be the difficulty in keeping them white.
I ride with black gloves on, even in the summertime. Here in Texas, the summer heat and sweaty gloves would quickly turn the grips black. It would be worse than keeping the whitewalls white!
Tbonetony06,
Are you concerned with keeping all that white rubber white, especially the footboard inserts? No doubt it would look great but upkeep...I don't know.

yea, the red plug wires where just to see if there was any difference with the fatter SE wires. The white plug wires are going to happen though, this winter. As for keeping them clean and white, well, I am a clean freak so I would try my best to keep them white. If became impossible then I can say I tried and put my old stuff back on. The seat is going to be done this winter, as I stated in my original post. I don't have a paticular pattern locked down yet but it will be finished in black and white.

Nothing is wrong with what I have right now, but I am going to put some 16" Gangster apes on it, some 39" straight cholo's and have my seat re-worked, put a gel pack in it and have it done in black and white and nothing was wrong with the bike before I put the Shotgun on it, before that nothing was wrong with it before I put the progressive monotubes in the front, before that nothing was wrong with the bike before I put the HD oil cooler on it and the digital HD oil pressure gauge on it, before that nothing was wrong with the bike before I put a chit load of chrome on it and on and on and on. It's my bike, my money and I get bored easily and I see my bike as a platform for my "artwork". I like things that makes it stand out from all the rest, like most people on here do. I am always looking for something new and to led the pack. I also show my bike so I always like to have that edge. I also like pulling up to a bar or any place else, parking it and having people flock to my bike to see what I did last. I have waited years to be able to have a bike, the time and the money to do what I want. I work my azz off and I raised my kids alone, now it's my turn and I see nothing wrong with that. I already have NEXT winter's mods planned out, new tins, stretched rear fender and paint. I hope that answer's your question as to why and what's wrong with what I have now. I usually feel no need to explain myself or my actions but everyone here is pretty cool people so I made an exception just for you.
