Thanx for the compliments, I kinda like the way the gloss black looks with Red Hot Sunglow.
I'm gonna try to get some more pics this weekend after I clean her up.
These were a couple that one of my friends took last weekend.

Had this almost all blacked out and didn't like it as much. I like the black with chrome accents.

I am not much for apes, but I like the overall look of your bike. Very Sharp.

All or part of your forks, etc. I'd leave the motor chrome, for the most part, but some type of black air cleaner of your choice, and maybe a black points and derby cover. Of course it's all subjective. Now, make sure you share your finished product with the boys .
Yes, I guess I should have clarified. I was not planning on blacking out everything, just trying to bring out the theme. I was initially planning on the front forks, nacelle and crashbar. Nice idea on the trim ring and spear on the nacelle staying chrome.
