Default has anyone blacked out thier whole fork on the charcoal satin slim?

I cant find any good pics of the charcoal satin slim with a totally blacked out fork. I was wondering if its too black for the charcoal color. I also want to black out the whole motor and primary case. not sure if all the black would be too dark for the gray.

I think the black would really accent the charcoal. Take a color photograph of your bike and use a marker to black out what you want on the bike. It will give you a pretty good idea of what it would look like.

It's not a good photo, but I blacked out mine as well. I also went with Biltwell Thunder Risers that are black. As for the headlight trim rings? I have chrome because I can't find black trim rings for the Auxiliary Lights. I have a black one for the headlight, but without the other trim rings, what's the point? I figure I will get them powder coated this winter and fix the problem. Also blacking out the engine, just the rockers need done, but again, I might do that when riding season is over.
