Thinking about blacking out my....
Front end....fork lowers, fork uppers and headlamp nacelle. The trim ring on the headlight would stay chrome and both passing lamps would remain chrome to break it up a little bit. I think it would look great against the silver paint on the bike.
But then again, it would be much cheaper to just replace the fork lowers with chrome..... just thinking aloud..... what say you?

Lastly, you likely already know this, but the Harley parts are powder coated, not painted, so if you plan to go this route you might consider just having your stock parts powder coated, making this project far less costly. Shame on me for learning this after I bought the parts.

I like the black myself, especially after seeing LumpSum's photos. Looks great against the silver tin
