Powder the lowers - the contrast between the powdered lowers and the gloss back uppers will be nice - plus its cheaper and more durable.

In the meantime remove those reflectors asap.

I'm having the same issue. I bought some gloss black lowers off ebay but they have been sitting in the garage since I got them. Can't decide if I would like them or not. I have the silver lo so contrast is kinda the look I've been going for so the black lowers might not make ut on the bike. I bought them fire way cheaper than harley so I might just sell them for cheap just to get most of my money back if I decide to not go with them

There is a guy on ebay (VooDoo) or something like that that sells some really nice black powder coated stuff and you can get the upper and lowers in one kit for something like $150
