Default Black slip-ons

Anyone running black slip-ons with the stock chrome head pipes? Trying to picture how this would look on a black RK.

that's my biggest concern with mixing manufacturers, black seems to be pretty hard to match. the black does look nice on that black ice/blue ice though

This is not a very good picture, but I have seen Black mufflers with chrome headers in person and they look fine.

The two different shades of black are really a function of the photo. They are identical in person. Yeah they are a Harley part.

I've got black baloney cut Rush 2 inch on my RK. Looks pretty OK to me and my friends seem to like them as well. Maybe they're just being kind.
