Default Chrome bars, black controls & mirrors?

Finishing up a few needed mods before the season is in full swing (will post when complete) and the last thing I'm working on is the controls & mirrors. As of now I have a mix going on up there... chrome bars, switches and banged up mirrors. The housings are black and current grips are black & chrome. I like a nice even balance of black and chrome so thinking maybe going black with the mirrors, levers and getting some new grips. Any thoughts and/or pics?

I like that set up personally.



And since I left my signals on the bars, I changed them to black too.

I have all black controls and can't wait until I get the black bars to match.

But with your set up and the other chrome on your bike, I think I would go chrome, not black. Just my opinion.

I think chrome and black go very well together, anywhere, anytime.

I have an fxdc with lots of chrome. So I wanted a balance of chrome and black on the bars as well. Ended up going with chrome bars, black grips with chrome end caps (Avon custom contours), black slightly smaller drag specialties levers, and one chrome mirror. I like the single stock chrome HD mirror hanging upside down on a chrome bar. Visibility is still good due to it's size, but it's not sticking up like a bumble bee antenna. But that's just me.
Here's a poor cell phone pic from a while back to give you an idea.
