Little tip....I was looking at going all black on the wheels too...Its much cheaper to have your whole wheel powder coated than taking them apart just to put black spokes in.Will save you loads of greenbacks for something else : ) If you want a little different look get the nipples taped up before the pc treatment to leave them chrome..tis' what I'm doing and think it'll turn out freakin' awsome lookin' haha!

Another option that I have been looking into is taking the wheel apart myself, sending the spokes and the hub to get powdercoated, and then taking it to an indi to put the spokes back together. The service manual has instructions on how to relace the wheels, but I don't know if I want to try myself.

Do it right do it once!
+1 on HD wheels, i use him alot, i have powdered a bunch of spokes for people it usually cost around, $1 - $2 per spoke... depending on what colors they want done... in some cases you can get the black spokes from places such as HD wheels and then swap them out 2 at a time, just unlace the old ones and lace in the new ones, then just true them... i can look to see if i have any extra spokes from when i have done customers bikes, i dont think i do but if i do your are more than welcome to them... then you can have your local coater powder them... i just have no clue where they are (if i have them)
to give you an idea... here are stock 40 spokes done in caution yellow
