Default Can decide need help

Hey guys. I'm trying to decide which direction to go in. I ordered a new riser and mini ape hangers for my morocco gold pearl Breakout. They are both chrome and I was thinking about getting them powder coated gloss black to match the oil tank and frame. My friend suggested flat black but I don't know how it would look with the rest of the bike. What do y'all think.

I did my risers in gloss. I wouldn't do flat unless you intend to do other parts in flat as well.

Maybe the rear fender struts not sure. Can't picture it. Haven't seen to many white bikes to get an idea of what the whole combination would look like. Where you ever able to see the gap I was asking about on the turn signal visors?

No, never looked for them again. Been super busy and that stuff is buried.

If you have gloss black already on your bike, do gloss black.

I have seen the Street Glide Special in that Morocco Gold Pearl done with all the chrome and silver swapped out for gloss black. I'm not into baggers but I wanted that bike! The pearl white on the gloss black looked sick! I look forward to pic's of your build.
