to the OP:

see my sig pic and my photo album.

i blacked out the battery band and strut covers and i'm currently waiting on my lower legs, triple trees, and shocks to come back from pc. i have gloss black carlini apes waiting to go on and a gloss black wimmer air intake.

when all is said and done my bike will have the look you're describing: all blacked out save for pipes.

i have a chrome ring around my tail light and my fuel caps are chrome, so the pipes pick up the chrome from the front and the back, and i think it gives the bike a real balanced look while only being about 10% chrome.

I think a 'splash' of chrome/polished aluminum looks good on a black canvas. A 'splash' of chrome on the other side of the pipes (e.g. a chrome horn cover) adds a little balance.




I couldn't agree more, the chrome compliments the black and vise versa. I have been adding a little more black lately but personally my main interest in that is when you live near the coast, every friggin things corrodes, aluminum, steel, so I'm covering up some of my metal with black powder coat. Because even the chrome stuff rusts, especially if it's that non hd second rate crap.. No current pics because bike is tore up for powdercoating right now.

I agree with a little chrome for contrast with the black motors...since I have the silver motor I went with black pipes, ac cover, horn cover, and derby cover to add some contrast to the silver as well as a satin black handlebar and mirrors.

I'm still thinkin' about either painting or powder coating the battery box band wrinkle black...

I've blacked almost everything. But, I'm feeling something needs to change.

I think that's the key to the 'black-out' look... various shades and textures.
