Old thread, but will be repeated over and overbecause that's the same answer you will get with any A or B choice..
Want to save some time?
Just make a decision on your own on what you like...

I'd leave it black and get a set of axle covers (prolly the HD script ones) to give you a bit more POP and bling in the rear and leave the swingarm back for contrast. Your bike looks pretty sweet as is... don't over do it.

Yeah thanks guys. This is an old thread from when I had the bike apart over the winter. I have since decided to leave it black as it is all put together and complete (for now anwyay) ... Glad I left it black. Thanks again for all of the input though, especially GeorgeC... LMFAO...
