The black is a beast to clean with the wrinkle finish.

RE: Desiring more black on nightster.
I read that simple green diluted of course painted on with a paint brush and allowed to soak in a little then pressure washed off is best on the wrinkle finishes....
I will try it my next wash.. We use it to clean the tires on my dirt racing kart.

I sprayed Simple Green directly (undiluted) on the wrinkle finish and scrubbed as hard as I could with a nylon brush and still had mud spatter marks. [:@]

RE: Desiring more black on nightster.
I have seen these "black" items: Front & Rear Turn Signal Lens (smoke), Derby and Primary Chain Covers. Gross Black Luggage racks. Covers for the enginne head bolts, Progressive Suspension 100% black rear shocks., License plate bolts.Harley Vivid Black Full Floatinf Brake rotors.
One could also remove the tree red reflectors on the rear fender and the two amber ones on the front lower fork tubes.
Of course the a/c clover and left and right engine cases painted blackshown above would be a winner too.
Black spokes would be an over the top project!!

RE: Desiring more black on nightster.
I say use Rhino Liner on EVERYTHING....I'm honestly considering doing so with every last nut, bolt, bracket, tin, and widget on the whole bike...then polish the tank and fenders to a nice raw shine, clear coat it, and stick a fork in it. Also lookin for those whitewalls with the red stripe on em...anyone know who makes em?
