If you mean blacking out the exhaust and other chrome bits...I think blacking it out works better with a black, silver or grey bike and maybe a bright colored bike (red, yellow, green, etc). I'd stick with chrome on your bike that seems to have neutral colors...but at the end of the day this is an individual decision & if you like it go for it!

You have a good looking bike. Personally I am not into the classic look Harley for myself but for a bike with a classic type paint job, classic leather saddle bags and white walls I think any blacked out parts would look really out of place. A classic look is all about chrome and leather. Now if you put hard bags, black walls and a different paint job on it then you can black out parts to your hearts content and it will look good. JMO

I had a pacific blue pearl paint set and it looked great with crome then I got a dark silver with light silver flames and started to do some things in black. Yes shades of gray lends itself to black and I think all the denim paints also look good trimmed in black also. I think your bike looks good with crome!
Tough Call. Put the pic in a photoshop program and change colors around. A time consuming task, but maybe the only way to truly picture what you're asking.

With that Color would stick with Chrome .. Agree Black Silver Gray and perhaps a few other Denim Colors may look Great with Black not that scheme .. I love the Darkside look with plenty of Black out even have some on my Ultra .. But to do it to my FXR4 would be a Crime, it Screams for the Chrome look ..

Nope I dont see blacked out as being right for your bike. That's a good lookin color scheme you got there and the chrome is what best fits it IMHO...
