Nice, but too much black for me. Black is for seats and tires.

Your bike looks great. Good balance.
In my little humble opinion, some of the bikes where the owner just went crazy on the black don't look all that great (to me).
Nice to have some contrast. Some of the bikes are so black they don't look like a bike at all and more like a back yard grill.
Just my .02 and no offense to anyone with an ALL black bike. Just not my thing ya know.

Same thing applies with all chrome bikes. Too much chrome and it just looks... not great. I know that is blasphemy!! Just sayin.

Here it comes....

To each their own!

Then I must be getting old because I still love chrome. Black looks good on paint (ok, and seats & tires), but that's it for me.

One big reason I went with the Ultra over the Goldwing was the ability to add chrome...just like in the old muscle car days of the 60's and 70's. Yeah, I know, old fashion for sure...just my style
