I like it, it does that style of bike big time justice. Chrome for me though. I think a little chrome right there would blend well and it would really set off all the black you have on your bike. I am a self admitted chrome ***** so I guess I am a bit biased as well. I also agree it would be easier to black out a chromed part verse chrome a black part too, JMHO.

 

Interesting you guys unearthed this thread cuz as of yesterday I don't have to photoshop what a black-outed front end looks like on my bike. And I get the S&S muscle cover in chrome today when UPS arrives.

Crappy camera phone pics in the evening taken yesterday. Put the black axle caps on after I took this pic. S&S chrome muscle cover to be added tonight:

 

Slightly better pic I took this morn. Can't wait to put the chrome muscle cover on it tonight.

 

Let's see it on the bike!!! It's been two days, man!!

 

Your front end came out nice...
/now stock up on some NanoWax and microfibers...

 

Blacked out forks and chrome muscle cover installed. Don't need photoshop anymore.

 

I didn't realize this at the time I did mine, but you can also get those shroud side strips in black for about $9 a pair...

H-D P/N 68055-10BHP - Trim strip, black (2), for triple tree cover - $8.95
(page 271 in the '13 catalog)

I threw mine into the parts box when I went to the PC'er, turns out I didn't need them anyway - they come off when you install aux. lights.

That A/C cover looks great...

EDIT: Ooops, my bad - they're $8.95 each...

 

Thanks. And the bike runs a little faster now with the exposed air filter. Or maybe it's just in my head.

I think I'm going to keep the chrome trim strip. I like a little chrome to offset the black. Matter of fact, I'm pretty much done with my bike now. Just gonna ride.

 

Looks great!

 

Me too, pretty much.
I have the analog speedo/tach on order right now, then I may look at different fuel gauge/gas cap combos and some grips.
Just a couple of minor cosmetic things left now...
