Default deuce cosmetic question

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum...so Hi!!!

Anyway, I have a 2002 softail deuce. Love the bike! Been doing some upgrades to it and am looking at a new exhaust, specifically the python hs 2-1. My bike is pretty much all chrome but would like to add a bit of black to break up the monotony a little bit. What do you guys think of me putting a black exhaust on my bike? I am thinking about adding black handle bars and sometime down the road changing the wheels as well. I have a few pics of it but nothing great. I'll have to take a better picture soon.

anyway, thoughts?

Thanks!

I think you should do what you want. Make the bike your own!

I think funbikerchick just summed it up. Cosmetics all depend on the owner. Do what you want to make the bike yours. I have a Deuce and love it, I think it is one of the best looking Harley Davidsons ever made. Personally the thing I changed on mine immediately was the location of the plate, I didn't like it at all. I changed mine first and I think it really improved the look of my Deuce.

I had one on my Deuce for a while and liked it. I picked it up cheap to see if I would like a 2 into 1.

That is a unique paint scheme. You can go either way with it.

Thanks for all the replies. I agree it is all about how I like it, sometimes I have my mind made up and just need a nudge in the right direction lol.
