I'm not much on black and especially satin, but I do like it. I would even get rid of the red wires and red brake caliper.

I'm a fan of flat/denim black, but... too much of a good thing on this one.

Some chrome or contrast cut to break up the color would be my choice....

..ughhh...that looks gross...especially with the worst front wheel HD ever put on a bike painted to match....blacked out bikes can be cool..but they MUST contain SOME contrast parts...other wise it looks like someone ran their bike through an Earl Sheib paint shop on "$99.00 flat-black day".....

I guess if you get a scratch here and there it'll be easy to repaint.
