I've been wanting a Street Glide for a while now and went to the dealer yesterday to check out the 11's and it was all I could do to not buy the White Hot Denim one. I cant afford it yet. I like the blacked out look but it's been done, I think the contrast on this would look awesome with black fork covers, exhaust, and air cleaner. I still think I look to big on even the touring ones. I'll have to see what they can do in the fit shop. Hope to post pics of this in my driveway someday, I miss having a harley.
I just bought a white hot denim street glide a couple of weeks ago. My plan is to do exactly what you stated and black a lot of the chrome out. I'm pretty good with Photoshop, so here's what the "finished" product will more-or-less look like. So far I've got the latches, horn cover, windshield trim, headlight trim, and smoked lenses on it. The forks are ordered, just waiting on them to come in, and I plan on getting a lot of things powder coated over the winter. I've been calling it the Storm Trooper. I'll post some real pictures when I get the forks put on.
I haven't been a big fan of the denim colors but I do like the white they brought out this year. The photoshopped bike that McNasty just posted looks awesome.
I'm 6'3" 240 and I don't like the road glide because the fairing not moving with the bars just doesn't feel right to me and I think the reason I like the white so much is because nobody else does that's the way I've always been, different over popular.
Well,..I dont see any different over popular thing about a white SG with some blackout.Police bikes are WHITE many touring bikes are WHITE my refrigerator is WHITE all the ambulances are WHITE..so,,,maybe you should go gold or maybe yellow with pink dots to be DIFFERENT!! heheheh,,,,good luck
