Yeah, I see your points. Too much bling ain't a good thing.

I wished that Harley made a color matched one!
(I'm sure they will offer them soon).


I've talked to my buddy that owns a Body Shop.
He is going to color match mine for me over the winter.

Hope so. I think that chrome one on Vivid would look cheesy tho. IMO

It is a cool ride, and the leaves are getting in to their peek period as well. You could continue north on 84 or 91 and head into the hills of Mass., and it will be beautiful.

You need to change the way you wax - either don't go right up next to it, or mask it off.

If you've ever watched a professional detailer work on a car, they'll mask off the flat black plastic & chrome trim, rubber moldings, etc. before buffing/waxing to avoid that.

To me, I think the factory matte black looks better than the chrome KuryAkyn piece, but color matched might be better yet.

I decided to buy a quart of paint and paint mine, not just because the mailbox slot bugged me, but also the mid frame deflectors and inside of the lower fairing. Not sure why MoCo doesn't paint those parts at the factory. Did my inner fairing and some speaker parts, too.

Now that looks decent but I still prefer the black. The chrome, not at all.
