Default Need some opinions

Hello everyone, as the title states I need some of your opinions. Over the past few weeks I have done a couple things to my 2009 street glide. The mods I have done include powder coated forks cowbells and the piece under the fairing, powder coated crash bars, headlight ring, air cleaner cover, and horn cover. A black shift linkage cover was also added. Over this weekend i will be adding some 12 inch burly bagger bars in black as well. I also added hog tunes speakers, se 255 cams, and did a rendition of the garage door opener mod( got the hd odometer reset button and soldered it to a garage door opener, and put it behind my right side side cover. Works nicely and is slightly hidden). I will be getting my bike dyno'd soon, so i can share the actual results later, but for now the grin on my face says enough!! Anyway, i just wanted to hear some opinions on where i should go next with the powder coating. Thought it might look ok with chrome exhaust but now im having secong thoughts. Maybe more black all around will help. Thanks in advance, and ill try to get my pics on here, never done it before.

The only opinion that matters is the guy riding the bike-you!

The first thing I noticed in your pics was the chrome front turn signal mounts. Perhaps that's a small next step to get blacked out.

I'm not usually all that keen on the all black look but you have a sharp looking scoot and I really like the garage door opener mod.

With all the black I can see how your second guessing leaving the exhaust chrome. Tough decision.

Good luck with your project.

Your bike looks great. I would get a black exhaust and blackout the front turn signals. I like a little chrome with black.
