Default Who else has black forked SG?

Who else besides 2006streetglide has the black front end? How about some pics?

Putting money down on my new one tonight. Just can't decide on black or chrome.

As of this moment I'm leaning towards the black front end.

Thanks in advance,

Primo

Hey Primo.

I don't have the black front end, I went with the chrome (my dealer had both for the same price). I just wanted to point something out. If you decide to go with the chrome, make sure that you spend the extra money and get the polished rotors. I've seen some guys put on chrome sliders and beer cans and leave the stock rotors - makes no sense whatsoever. Those beautiful chrome sliders make the stock rotors look pretty bad. The rotors are a highly visible item, especially on a bagger. Good luck with your new ride!

Yes. The black front end package is available for most or all touring bikes. Start here: http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US then look around for the rest of the components.

Black front ends are cool! If you want to save some money on black parts get your stock stuff powercoated.

What is the bike you are geting because if it is black i would say go with black and it may look alright on black chery or black perl but if you are not going with a black bike i wouldn't do a black front end. BTW blacked out bike's are kick A$$ i am blacking out my bike i just need more money to funish it.

You mean they come in other colors besides black? Just kiddin'. Can't seem to get away from black bikes so figured I'd go black front end this time. Thinking of going with Vivid black floating rotors and black levers as well.

Something along these lines: http://www.bartelsharley.com/bikes/2...%20Glide.shtml

Thanks again and keep those black fork pics coming!
