plus 1 just look at ol harley 2 tone paint jobs...also black it all out afterwards.right now it looks like if you scraped the bags and didn't have any orange paint to match so you just did the bottom of the bags black

If you just did it, then give it a while or get somebosy in the photoshop forum to doctor it up.
Black on the bottom of the tank, ....and maybe the sides of the front fender. I'm partial to the paint lines on my tank, probably too much with the black. The cream/white pinstripe separating the colors would be a classy touch.

Take some good pics of the bike and post on the photoshop forum here on HDF and ask someone to photoshop ideas.
The orange pulley is goofy IMO; but if you're happy with it go with it.
Leave the saddlebag lids alone; consider color-matched saddlebag latches--you can sell the chrome ones for about 50% or more of what HD charges for primered, paint-ready latches which are what I used for my bike repaint project.
Photoshop will give you some pretty good answers to "what if" scenarios.
Also, the gas tank with black on the lower 1/3 or so with pinstripe separating the two colors, or a tear drop in black with an HD tank decal would probably look better than the tank badge you now have.
Good luck with your porject.
