Default Black Chrome or Black Powder Coat


I'm thinking on having my mounting bracket's on my rear detachable docking kit
either powder coated black or black chromed. I just don't like the looks of that
chrome sticking out the back of my Vivid Black Street Glide. Sort of takes that
sleeklook of the SG away. Has anyone out there made this mod to make the
bracket's not so noticeable? Any Pic's?

Power coat would be thicker maybe causing other interface issues

The powder coat looks more "true black"... the black chrome almost looks dark steely gray to me.
