Default Making changes to my Roadglide and looking for input

Hey all. I’m looking at making some changes to my Roadglide. After a mild fever bender last year, I’ve got a new fender in order and will be doing a new paint job. Current look is a Latina orange bike which I plan to mimic the mako shark fade with the orange on top and black toward the bottom and front.




I currently have advan black lowers but not thrilled by the quality over the years. Given the paint scheme change, I plan to go with something different. I’ve eyeballed the voodoo 8” lowers for a number of years.







but recently ran across some more nostalgic lowers that BMC made that integrate better with the fairing.






The question I’m having is if these looks too classic/nostalgic when I am planning on throwing on some top shop mini money maker bags?




I’m mostly curious what you all think about these combinations?

I think any of the options you are thinking about looks fine, its good to be different as long as it looks right.

One other thing you might wanna think about changing is your seat covering, I had mine changed to reflect the colour of my bike and it gets lots of comments.
