I ride a denim black '11 Steetbob and have been thinking of switching out the stock apes. Im looking at the "Road 6 customs" bars and they come in either gloss or flat black...Im trying to decide which would look best

any input would be great.

 

Are you planning on powdercoating the trees and lowers anytime? I always like the front end to match the frame so I'd say go gloss.

 

My Z bars were flat, or kinda satin black when I got em. It looked wrong when I mocked em up, with everything else on the front end being gloss. So I had em recoated in gloss to match

 

Yep, Gloss with denim.

 

I think gloss and flat play off each other nicely....so there's no need to have only one. Plus, it's still black.

Of course, that's coming from a guy that has gloss, flat, semi, and textured black all over his bike. Ha ha ha...

Ultimately, I think bars should match your forks or frame. Either is fine.

 

I think you guys are right...I was leaning towards gloss, but then my mind(or whats left) got to thinking. Thanks for the quick responses everyone.

 

I say gloss for sure if your tank is flat. My girlfriend just picked up the 883 Iron which has a flat black tank/fenders with gloss black bars/lower forks/struts/springs. I have an 06 Street bob with gloss black tank/fenders and plan on powder coating bars/lower forks/struts/springs flat black. Would like to see some pics.
