I almost went with the Tequila Sunrise color but ended up going back with the black. Your bike would look great going either way but I would go with a combination of black/chrome. On my black SG I was initially going to go the black route but have now decided to do a black and chrome combination. Too much chrome is a pain in the azz to clean but does look nice. The problem I am having now is what parts to do in black and which to do in chrome. I have the black back rest and 4 point dock, chrome pipes w/black tips, chrome breather with black contrast cut breather cover. Now I am trying to decide on which color bars. Wheels are another issue. Black lowers with chrome wheels or chrome lowers with black contrast wheels. Leaning towards the black wheels because I hate cleanin chrome wheels. Have fun with the mods and keep pictures posted as you make the changes.

Bahahaha... really? I couldn't disagree more! It is all about personal preference!


OP - I think your orange color would look awesome with a contrast cut style!

I would think it would cost more to go black because there will be more parts to change out.

BINGO! Not to mention the fact that some stuff only comes in chrome so you have the get the part they have it painted or powder coated and black pipes are ALWAYS more $$$.
