I must be getting old too. Blacked out bike just dont do it for me. Looks good and if you all like it more power to you. Myself I like black bikes with lots of chrome.
I like it alot. I think its a good balance. The only think I would have done different were the rims... I dont like when the rims are all black, it needs some contrats to the rubber...
If it's "A penny for your thoughts." BUT "You put your two cents in." ... ... ... SOME ONE is making a penny!
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!

Ha Ha......back yard grill! That's funny! I have to agree. I wanted some chrome left on her. I just wanted to be a little different. Besides...I don't have the patience to shine all that chrome!
Can you post more pics. I would really like to see more shots of the Lindby Engine guards. I have been considering buying a set of their black guards but I haven't been able to find any pictures of how they look assembled on a bike.
BTW, the black out treatment looks real good....I am in the process of doing the same to my FLHX.
