I like contrast. So if I don't go with the springer I'm planning on, I like seeing black lowers, chrome forks, black lower/upper trees with chrome in the middle, then the chrome clamp with black bars. Keeps a pattern and is consistent. But that's just my undiagnosed OCD speaking.

Agreed, I need to get my trees powdercoated at some point but it will just be such a pain in the *** to pull all of that part again...

I'm still in doubt, I want to keep the risers and handlebar as they are so still have some thinking to do, keep in mind that pictures showing above where made before
my other mirrors and levers, they are black now.
