Thanks for all the imput. We are going to go with the Pewter because it will be easier to clean but that black is beautiful.

I'm sure you will love your choice, but personally I would never let ease of cleaning make such a decision.

My RKC is vivid black and looks great on such a retro looking bike. My Dyna is pewter pearl and looks great with all the chrome I've added. As said before, at the end of the day it's what makes you happy. From a resale perspective I think black is probably a better buy.
