Look back through time and black has always been a favorite factory color and always will be...

Black with a hint of chrome to make it pop. on my bike (vivid black) Im probably 90 % black, tins, handlebars,forks, mirrors, engine and bag guards, pipes, license plate frame are black and I left the A/C, fender struts, floor boards , passenger pegs chrome to give it some "bling"

I think the orange with black would look good and a little chrome to stand out and sparkle.

The new CVO have the forks 50/50 upper black and lower chrome , I think it looks good

My last bike 05 FLSTFI was more chrome maybe 80% and IMO the black is a lot easier to maintain and looks good longer between washes IMO. Chrome that is not shining doesnt look as good as black that is not shining,

For the Sedona Orange I would go with powder coated gloss black bars and lower forks and black exhaust.

I was undecided until I saw your bike.....chrome for sure. I have always kept a contrast of black and chrome on my bikes (just got started on my RG), but I like blacked out and chrome bikes.
