Here are my questions. with the black bars im also thinking chrome controls. that would include levers, buttons, etc. only the grips would be copper to match the copper theme and the copper color horn cover i have. Should i stick with harley davidson controls? not sure if going with something different will take into a style that doesnt really fit a stock harley with upgrades. opinions are welcome on what you guys think would look cool on my bike.

second question is with the other stuff. i still thinking chrome cables but not sure if black would look better.
Welcome, from Raleigh...

Q "what you guys think would look cool on my bike?"
A. whatever floats your boat.

Save people time, by saying in the post, the year/model.... but in the long run, it really does boil down to floating your boat... your way.....

Heck..... who knows.. you might have the next one million dollar design in your head.. and could be the next "Kendall Johnson"..."Jessie James"... <fill in the blank>

good luck

Welcome from Western NC.

IMO go with black control covers or internal that way it sets off the brass grips. But it is your bike do it your way.
