Default Softail Slim Ideas

I just bought a 2013 Softail Slim about 4 months ago. So far I have installed V&H Big Shot Staggered Black exhaust, Screamin Eagle A/C, Memphis Shades Rio Grande Windshield with quick release mount, smoked front and rear turn signals. I also just purchased Biltwell 12" apes but they haven't come in yet. I have debated installing some white pipe wrap and getting white walls, but I am not sure if I want that look or not. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

There's a thread where people have been posting up their different mods for their Slims here:

LOTS of variation, lots of wicked stuff. Worth checking out for all kinds of inspiration.

Welcome to the Forum from Colorado!
Sweet lookin Slim. Every time I go to my dealer, I hope they don't have one in that color.

White walls look put the slim over the top in my opinion. They should market them with white walls

Update: I installed some pipe wraps last night just to see how they would look. I didn't put clamps on them or start bike up with them on because I just wanted to see how it looked. Here's a picture.

Hmm, I dunno.
Black, Red, polished alum., and WHITE?
That just doesn't look right IMO.
The white looks waaaay out of place.
Black wrap would be better... just my

Already gone, just trying to see if I liked it. I agree that black wraps will look better, and I may end up getting some whitewall tires. I saw a post on softail slim thread where a guy had a red pinstripe on outer edge of his rims. Any idea how it is done?
