What tone are you doing on the rest of the bike?Some flat contrasting against gloss might look pretty good depending on which peices you do.

All the 2018 street and road glide Specials have black front ends, I’ve never see one in a matte, can’t imagine it would look all that great, but who knows

Since the engine/exhaust/paint is flat, I'd do shiny black for everything around it including handlebars.

You don't want it to look like someone just murdered it out with krylon. Needs to have some contrast. My opinion.
