I'd like to see them in black. Can U mount them, take a couple of pictures to post? I'd stay away from any elaborate striping or paint because of their location. I've seen some pretty chipped up lowers.

Orange. If you do a stripe make it match the side covers.

it looks like my first thought, "mirage orange" is the way to go.

after some fiddling and modification, managed to get them mounted today. must say the white lowers with purple caps against an orange 'n balck sooot do present some minor eye discomfort. I did just do a short road test and feel the road glide with lowers are way better than my ultra with lowers. just an initial observation.
