All great looking bikes.
I am going to go the blacked-out look on my new to me 98 Road King Classic next fall-->

Plan to ride it as much as I can this season, then worry about how it looks

Street Glide is a work in progress, going to eliminate all the chrome. The other bike is my old Road King which I did black but left some chrome here and there.

I really like your bike, I am considering something similar, as Chrome is nice and everything but I think I like black better. I am hoping to go for that nice balance between the Chrome and black. RIght now I have a LOT of chrome overload heh.

It really looks good with that front end.

I like a little bling, so now for my comments.
I would leave the Headlight Trim Ring and turn signals chrome

But you need to black out:
all the covers on the motor (timing, trany, derby and left side cover)
Engine guard
Floor Boards
Highway pegs
Passenger pegs
Brake and shifter levers (hand and foot levers)
Luggage Rack
