Looks good! I'm thinking about doing the same, with a black wrap fender.

Thanks all. I had chrome on my last bike so I decided to do something different with this one.

I agree. A black fender and forks would look really good. Sharp bike.

I started off doing the same thing. I gloss blackened the lower legs, sliders and skirt. Then came the kickstand, engine guard, highway pegs, brake calipers, floor board trays, brake pedal tray and handlebars. It's addicting as hell.

I'm afraid it might be my new addiction but I'm gonna try not to do too much. I want a nice mixture of black and chrome. I have seen a couple of guys on here completely black out their bikes like mine and I have to admit they look great.
