get it the color of the bike - had mine painted to match the bike along with the inside of my lower fairings, air intake covers, mirrors and brake/clutch levers - nothing like a matching bike

Probably depends on the color of your bike. Everybody's different, but I certainly wouldn't want to stare at Ember Red Sunglo around my gauges for 14 hours a day.

I just did mine. I have a 12 SG Ember Red and love the look. This ember red is a different color every direction you look at it and if its sunny or cloudy. They should come stock this way, but than Harley wouldn't get the extra money to do this as an aftermarket part

Search "Paul Barber" on this forum. He is also on Craigslist.

Here's a cool way to handle your (and my) concerns - two-tone with black in the center.

Blatantly stolen from Paul's Facebook page...

That's an awesome idea! Have you been quoted a cost? Are you taking the stripe straight across from side to side?

Think I'll do the same with the Light/Dark Rootbeer & burgundy pinstripe
on mine. Should put the pinstripe right across the middle of the gauges, that will look great.
