Default "Blacked out" '08 Ultra...would you? (pic)

Sitting here playing with photoshop, and pondering whether or not I should pull the plug (no pun to previous post) on a Vivid Black Ultra.

However, when I bought my RKC a few years ago, I chromed everything out the door. This time, I'm considering blacking out the bike.

Here's an altered pic of the 2008 Ultra with some chrome blacked out, a shorter windshiel, and cropped antennas.

Feel free to convince me to purchase this bike.[sm=goodidea.gif]

Ohhhh too much black for me. I like lots of chrome on a black bike.

But that's just mu opinion.

I like it. Go with the HD black floating rotors too.

I guess that was my next question.....

How does one go about blacking out a bike?

Can I buy black HD replacement parts from the dealer? Or do I have to get this stuff done at a custom paint shop?

I see a trend. Black is slowly becoming the new bling.

Some parts like the engine guard and front forks as well as some other small ones like levers and mirrors can be purchased right from HD. Others you are going to have to take car of yourself. Do a search on the HD parts site in the touring family for "black". That'll give you a good idea what you can by and what you need to get painted or powdercoated.

You forgot the Pipes, Front Fender Trim and the Air Cleaner.

This is just my .02 worth, but if you are going to go to all the black, then make sure you change the mirrors to fairing mount. Next, if you're that good with photo shop put some air in the rear tire too! Looks a little low....

I went to HD web site. Lots of black for sale in the touring section.

Thanks.

Time to make my list.
