please post pics I have been thinking about doing this to my 04' wide glide. I think it would be quite cool to see the forks, bars, shocks, some engine pieces, struts in maybe black nickel plating,black anodized or black chrome.

 

Didn't use any of the processes you mentioned, but have powdercoated a few of the pieces of my SG black (Gloss on some texture on the others) with more to come.

 

There is a customer's bike @ Mad Fox Choppers in Batavia, IL. They just had all his chrome plated in black nickel. It looks extremely awesome.
