Has anyone put black lowers on another color bike? I want to order a set of lowers for my Road Glide, but dont want to dump $700 in something Im only going to use on long trips or during the winter. I can get gloss black ones cheap and if I dont like the way they look, I could have them painted locally and still be cheaper than HD.
If you have done it, or can photoshop mine, please post up.
Just put a set on a red and black street glide Sunday. Enough black to just not even notice them. They are dark, low and match your hwy bars. You'll be the only one concerned. If, for some reason, it bugs you, get a local to color match at some later date, but I doubt you'll need to.
Oh hell, i use a white road king tour pak on my Velocity red SGS when on a trip, who cares it holds my stuff very nicely.....it's your bike do as you wish....by the way i actually think the black lowers would look nice with your bike......
Thanks guys. I think you’re right. I’ll get them ordered and will update this thread when they come in, Incase the next guy is thinking about the same parts.
They will look fine. But your plan is a good one. Take a side panel and the lowers to a local paint shop. They can match the paint and paint the lowers if you want. That's what I did for my fairing.

After looking at your bike some more, I think the black will look better than having them color matched. These bikes are already big and I feel like the lowers just add more bulk to the look. If theyre black though, theyll probably blend in so much that they wont be that noticeable since youre eyes will go right to the white parts.
If that color bike was available when I was looking, I would have went with that one for sure. Love it man.
