Question Blacked out fork legs? Yay or nay

So I had to pull the front tire for a stupid flat got and idea to black out the legs between the trees. What are you guys thoughts. I'm not committed they can be removed and still need to be painted just wondering if I should spend the time.

Looks good, but thoose f-rs are gonna give you a hard time after you paint them and have to slide them through the triple trees. Just something to keep in mind.

I think it would look good and would contrast nicely with the headlight.

Just a cover not the actual fork tube itself. I plan on just a very light coat of night shade on the headlight to black it up a little bit.

Maybe covers are the way around that... if you can find the right length?
