Sweet looking bikes. The weather here is still warm and we're able to ride. Going to be in the 70's today and heading out to ride. Once it get's too cold, my parts are going to be powder coated. Still trying to decide if I want to powder coat the spot lights and turn sigs or not. Other than that, I'll be ready.

actually, for you guys that have gone black before...here are some of my ideas:
the bike will be an '09 pose ultra in vivid black so it will have that blue stripe right next to the grey one.
some of these will be either powdercoated or newly purchased parts.
- gloss black front forks / sliders
- swap oem whitewalls for blackwalls
- chrome roulette wheels
- bumper delete on front / rear fender
- possibly a powdercoated front fender skirt to get some black on the bottom of the fender. (thought about replacing the fender but i've got the stupid pinstripes on there)
- black engine guard?? up in the air cuz i'll probably leave the lower fairings on alot. maybe some chrome sticking out from there will be okay
- either black levers or chrome ones / fairing mount mirrors / shorter shield
- rear saddlebag guard delete...black bag guard added in front of bags
- color match saddlebag latches (vivid)
- flhx style rear light / turn signals
- i've also thought about adding the air wing tour-pak luggage rack (for when me and the girl take trips) but having it powdercoated gloss black first for a custom look. i haven't seen this yet but the way i picture it - it looks good.
anyways...if u took the time to read this mumbo jumbo thanks!!! if you answered it with your thoughts from your experiences in blacked out bikes...thats really cool!! good chance i'll leave the tour-pak / fat seat on this bike alot but i need it to look cool...like your bikes!!!!!
thanks!

Not at all, just completely removed it. Had the autogem lights custom made with a blue dot bulbs. NOT illegal here in FL since they are not facing forward. Autogem lights just bolt right up and zero issues.
