It’s a personal preference thing.
Looks good. I'm gettting a mix of red, chrome, and black. It's just happening based on what's available without too much planning. Got a bunch of parts in boxes here.

I consider myself picky on looks also. A guy once said on here, if when you get off your scoot and walk away, if you don't turn around and look back, YOU BOUGHT THE WRONG BIKE! Lol. As I was reading your post, I was thinking you are right on track with what I'd want on THAT bike, and thinking man, you need a chrome primary and rocker boxes. Then ya listed them! Ummmm. It's purely subjective, but I might wanna go to another chrome exhaust. Maybe a mid or Longshot? Definitely NOT 2-1!!!!!! Looks great. Jealous.

Also, I'm wondering how chrome fork lowers only would look? Maybe too choppy, idk....

Leave the chrome front lights trim (3), but add black visors?

Great stuff guys, waiting for my 2020 Heritage to arrive ,ordered black cos it pops with whitewalls (FOC dealer tire swap) oh & getting them to delete the dog bowl while they do that
Thought about the billiard red/black but the extra cost for two tone & maybe not as classic look.
Got a tour pack, smoked tail light smoke turn lens, thats it for looks, oh chrome Fatcat 2-1 as i got already a 128 Kit to fit sometime that never made it on the glide i traded!

Granted... To each their own and all that... But I don't know why folks want to do this.

Kind of been there since the beginning of time...





IDK... But to me... It's one of those features that helps put the "Heritage" into a Heritage.
