how does the black heat shield handle handprints and stuff? Do you see every little mark on them or are they pretty durable?

No problem with staining from fingerprints unless you touch em when they are hot then the skin might stick 
But seriously I worried about water spotting and blemishes from cooking road mud on the heat shields. A non issue, they look great after 5000 miles.

I disagree with everyone saying your doing it half a$$ if you go with the black slip on and chrome. It outs a break from all the chrome. BUT......
-It is your bike do what you feel looks the best. I think it would look great in fact it is what I plan to do to mine come winter. But there will always be a million diffrent opinions in the end its your butt on your bike.... ENJOY

How much is too much black?
...with a black bike maybe some contrast would be alright.
Would be nice if they came out with a dark custom Road King for 2010. We'll know in a couple weeks I guess.

I think the chrome/black thing is a natural fit. My '09 SG allready comes stock with the chrome/black look, so I just keep going with it. Add the Screamin' eagle heavy breather with the chrome elbow and black sock, iso grips, V&H Competition Series Slip-ons and I think it looks great!
