Default opinions please
I have a 2013 Vivid Black Street Glide , already installded a S&S stealth and HD intake cover, and a Klock Werks 6.5 Shield. In the next week I am going to order some true duals from Dragos Bike Works and some Chubbys WO577 12.5 apes. The hold up is I can't decide between black exhaust or chrome ,dragula muffler with a billet tip or the Dragos S/C/S mufflers , black or chrome bars. If you have any pics of either the black or the chrome exhaust or bars I would appreciate it. Here are some pics of the intake and shield.

One more thing where do I get an internal antenna ?

Thanks
Chris

I read on here somewhere that you can loosen one of the two screws holding the antenna up, roll the antenna forward and run it along the seat, hiding the antenna. Not sure if it will work but it would make it a cheap fix if it does.

Chris, the old boom audio hidden antenna sucked. The new one I hear nothing but good about it. Bottom line is hidden antennas are not going to give you the reception that a whip will. But that's coming from a guy who hasn't listened to (as someone else put it) "terrestrial radio" in at least 5 years.

i agree. this will dictate which way to go for sure. Streetglidewalt here has a 12 FLHTK with black mini apes and now matches with his new powdercoated luggage rack. Looks pretty sharp in my book with the mix of black and chrome.

Not a fan of all blacked out bikes, gotta have some bling on them IMO. I dont mind the whip, my radio works great. If I ever get a CVO fender/bags I'll remove the whip.
