Default Powder coated lower forks

Does anyone have powder coated lower forks (other than black) on their RK? I'm about to powder coat my hubs and nipples (gunmetal blue to match my bike) on my 21/18 DNA spoke wheels and was thinking to do something different than the usual chrome/black lower forks... I was thinking of powder coating the lower forks in the same gunmetal blue has my bike.

Cool. Maybe do the lowers blue and the cans or bells chrome or black to offset it. The original cans are stainless, and believe it or not the chrome actulally looks a little better, and they're cheap if you get em anywhere else but Harley.

electra glide,
Thanks for the info. I was planning on keeping my orginial cans, but now I think I will go with the chrome. I think it will go well with the blue powder coated forks...

Yes there is other colors than black...lol

I know that all black lowers (like on your bike) looks killer, but I haven't seen alot of other colors to compare it to.
