Black-Out Conundrum

Black-Out Conundrum
Just looking for some thoughts......... summer has flown by and sadly its time to start thinking about winter projects again (at least up here in the great white north). I have been slowly working on blacking out the Bob (emphasis on slowly). I'm pretty satisfied with the way she looks now but I'm probably going to be changing the bars over the winter and I'm torn between black and chrome. If I go black will the bike look "wrong" with the shocks, forks, sigs the way they are?...... in other words is it all or nothing at this point?
I keep looking at things like the shocks and thinking; they'd look good black... but then I think uggh; that means I gotta do the sigs, the sliders, etc etc
What say you dyna gods? Leave it, go all in or???????

Screw it, rip it all apart this winter, send it to the powder coater, black it all out and re-install it. I think that will speed up your "Slowly" issue. If I can fin me a cheap a$$ PU this winter, that is what is going to happen to my SB, hell the pipes I want only come in chrome, so the box will be making it trip to the coat shop before install.

I agree with kamut, keep the bars chrome unless you plan on blacking out the pipes and things. Harley seems to be coming out with a lot of new black parts, so it might get easier.
I have black bars and black pipes and I like the look. Would like to black-out the forks too, but that's going to have to wait a little while. In the meantime, I might look at putting on black fork boots.

I hear ya
I'm in the same situation. I will put black shocks on my bike and leave bars, etc chrome.
For me it's not about matching color either way. I think black shocks will hide better on my black bike.
One of the reasons I like softtails is because they have no visible shocks.
So slightly disappearing those ugly things will make me more happy
