Those look good, but I'd have to see how they wear before I jumped on that bandwagon. The description about aging to a natural patina could be a synonym for looking like crap.
I personally would stay away from the Brass Collection!! I have bought some of it and trust me, so far...it is CRAP!! The Brass Upper Stem Cover(Three caps) part #45500308, the center stem cover cap will NOT fit a '17 softail Slim S...it is way to large of cover, Harley acknowledged the flaw, yet still sells them!! The Brass LED fuel gauge part #70900709 does not fit as low into the tank as stock, it "sticks" up higher than stock, and the brass gas cap sits lower than stock, so when you look at both together, it does not look very nice!! also the "patina" on the parts, some are shiny, some are dull, so they will age at different stages! I have found out Harley is NO help in this collection and the fitment!! Seems Harley has just rushed to put this Brass Collection out there to make money and they don't give a crap about the customer, very obvious!! I would stay away from the Brass collection from Harley! Buy some brass parts from other companies!!
I too have the '17 softail slim s...olive green/military....I'm currently getting a new fuel gauge sent to me and returning this one so the dealership can see how it does not fit properly....maybe it's just a defective one? I have also ordered brass items from Choppergarageusa and have items coming(brass floorboards...brass derby cover...brass timing cover) I think their parts look more unique than the HD items!!
Like how you have fender bib under rack,never thought of that.Is bib off the shelf or custom made?
Custom made! The fender and tank bib and saddle bag were all made by Chris Wright owner of www.threemuttscustoms.com He is awesome to work with and does great work, fast turn around as well, I would highly recommend him!

I had my stock seat "re worked" by a local upholstery business. I used the left over material and sent to Chris and he used it to make the bibs and swing arm bag, that way, all items matched!
Received Brass Floorboards from www.choppergarageusa.com yesterday...put them on today!! Have to say, these where shipped all the way from Poland!! got here quickly and in a great wooden box!! They installed very easy and fit perfect!!
