Default New Pics of Bike - Black and Chrome

Here are a few new bikes of my 2011 FLHX. I am trying to mix it up between black and chrome. So far I have chrome front end, painted inner fairing, contrast cut master cylinder covers, black levers, contrast cut exhaust tips, and custom shifter linkage. I also removed the red saddlebag deflectors and replaced with black and contrast inserts. I am planning on leaving the handlebar controls black for contrast.

The bike came with heated hand grips (the ones stock on the Limited). I love em but I don't like the stock look. Any ideas to make them look a little nicer?

As you can see I am trying to walk a fine line of chrome and black. MY 04 FLHT was all chrome. So I am trying something different.

Something about a black and chrome bike! There's some who actually believe that black bikes go faster, too!
