Default Black & chrome

Need some opinions. I have a 04 black FLHT (Standard) I am trying to balance out the chrome and black. So far I have:

- Chrome engine kit with chrome round air cleaner cover.
- Chrome front end (debating if I want to use black axle cover or chrome).
- Vance and Hines True duals
- Chrome trim around the gauges and Sony radio.
- 8 inch black windsheild.
- Vivid black with skull dash insert with push button gas cap.
- Fairing mounted mirrors.
- Black Diamond grips with black levers.
- Black Diamond floorboards inserts, shifter peg, brake pedal, and passenger pegs (I have the Street Glide setup).
- Chrome highway pegs mounts with black diamond pegs.
- Black braided lines (throttle, clutch, and brake).
- Black powdercoated billet shifter lever, extended brake lever, and passenger peg mounts.
- Street Glide rear turn signal kit with laydown license plate.
- Blacked out turn signals (front & rear), brake light, and spots. I will eventually putting on the billet setup (like the one on the Screamin Eagle Ultra) to eliminate the towel bar.
__________________________________________________ ________________
I don't know if I should take off the rear saddlebag guards, front engine guard, and rear grab rail and have them powdercoated black. Right now, they are chrome, but I don't want to go too heavy on the black. Just enough to make it different.

I don't want to go too crazy with the black or chrome.

Need some suggestions and opinions. Would you change it? Would you leave it as is?

Added a Photo Gallery. Some pic of the EG are a little old and don't show the engine upgrade, front end or radio, but still good none the less. Check it out!
