I like contrast. I have a black and chrome motor but numerous black accents on the bike. I think black bars would go well with the black inner fairing. Chrome lower legs with black cow bells.

I like the idea of black tape on the bars to get a feel for the look. Great idea.

I’m partial to black. Here is a pic of the stock bars powder coated black, and my current H-D fat apes for road glide.

For a lot of my black parts I took my time and watched the classified adds. There are people going the other way, pulling black parts off to go chrome, or going with after market custom parts. Unfortunately, some bigger parts are not as plentiful in used and so higher priced newly powder coated ones were the best option (Tank console). Patience is the mode..
