WD40 cleans grips and sidewalls very well.

As others have said it looks great. The air cleaner looks a bit out of place though on such a classic look.

Lowe16, I like that seat, I have an 03 Road King Anniversary in black. Ive never liked a black bike but that seat would really set mine off. Where did you get it? And im North too, Southwestern Ontario.

I agree. It's almost asking for an S&S tear drop or an old HD round AC cover. Beautiful bike.

My seat started life as a Harley Badlander. I had Curtis of
Rafino Custom Seats do the leatherwork. Facebook page
Rafino Custom Seats. You will no doubt recognize some of his other work.
Better pics of my seat are there as well.

I personally do not like the look of white seats and grips, even on the nostalgic bikes. Not even when they came stock and new that way back in the 50's and I like the nostalgic look, even white walls. I set my 03 Pearl White Fatboy up a little retro, but I would never go as far as doing the white seat and grips. Color matching white with white paint is tough and they get all yellow and dirty and never on the floorboards. The first time you put your feet on white floorboards and they look shitty with road tar and all. Grips always look yellow or tarnished and never stay white. Seats fade and loose their white color. Black is also a color on the bike with the frame and engine so black and chrome look good to me. Just my opinion and hey, you asked?

My current plan is black 12" baby apes with white 'Coke bottle' grips, white HD Tallboy-spec seat from MCC, powered coated black lowers, black round horn cover, black bell air cleaner, and black gradient MS 'fat' shield. Continued gloss black bits and pieces as money allows.

I'm thinking it should come together nicely with the amber/silver color.

The Super Glide will get the same treatment, along with the Sumax LoBoy front fender already purchased, waiting to mount and paint.
