I like a happy mix of both.
A tasteful contrast.

I like that! It's like a negative of what I have, black wrinkle cases and chrome covers vs natural cases and shiny black. Looks good!

I'm in the process of adding more black into the motor. I'm a big fan of contrasting colors, which allows it to "pop" better. To each it's own though...

Yeah I plan on doing something about that brake lever setup on winter mods

The air cleaner is a Olds 88 Style "ole skool" derby cover intended for Harleys with carbs, not Fuel Injected so I had to do some mods to backing plate and the throttle body wiring cover to make it work. Wanted something completely different from others and I love the look it gives on my RKC. Many interests and compliments. Its very different and I have never seen another on ANY bike in all my years riding-30+ but I am sure they are out there.

Bought from JP Cycles really cheap compared to other places now at 50% off.... http://www.jpcycles.com/product/402-651#!

I've always chosen chrome for my bikes but I do like the blacked out motor theme.
