I liked the black until I had (still have) one. The black powder coat is so soft it looks terrible after a while. But oh well, mine is a rider and still looks good from 20 feet away.

 

Maybe because they can charge $1600 (?) more for it ?

 

Not from me. They keep trying and always tell them, if it's not chrome, I won't take it home.

 

Forgot to mention - I don’t think I’d be changing bars. The stock one feel just right. The jury still out for seat and shocks but in measly 30+ miles of my ride home seat felt really good, need to spend few hours on it..

 

Nice ride. You'll have to get use to more air on your knees again, especially this time of the riding season.
