Default Pics of black docking hardware on vivid black - 09-up

Looking for some pics of the 4 point docking hardware on vivid black bikes. Just curious how it looks and if it disappears visually. Was thinking about getting black but still using a chrome sissy bar. Post if you have 'em.

Black bikes with black gloss accessories are hard to photograph without setting up my whole studio, but this is a quick one:

On a black bike I think it blends better, but after a few years it does fade a little. Re-powder coating is easy enough though.

Thanks guys. Yeah it does disappear pretty well. Almost like it is part of the frame. And I could still run a chrome sissy bar and not have it look off.

your powder should NEVER fade, if it is that means it is not a UV stable powder and should have been cleared with a clear to protect from UV... we have coated a ton of these with great results here are some pics!
