Is your bike denim black??? I'd say either none or maybe the bar n shield outline done in dark grey or silver. Would be a little more subtle.

I think the bar & shield with orange letters may blend best with the look of you bike, but I think the HD custom logo gives it a little pop.....

Good luck with the decision, the bike looks great whichever you decide.

Like the custom logo, but voted for the B&S with no letters - just think that'll stand the test of time a bit better.

Not really crazy about any of them; but if I had to chose, I'd go with the HD in the 2nd picture

Wife and I also think that the Bar/Shield with no letters also looks best. I really like the HD Custom, but for some reason it doesn't look as good as I thought it would on the flat black.

I will play with that idea. And to answer your question, it is rattlecan flat black.
