Decision time... on the Maple FLTRXSE the Chrome looks better... on the skunk the black may look better and on the blue.. who knows..

For the life of me I dont understnad the half-baked attempt HD was trying to do with these bikes...

Same with the SESGs.  It is weird.

Sometimes color and chrome looks just fine .

Decision time... and on the blue.. who knows..

Go blue!

I already got my Maple... very happy with it....just wish I could enjoy riding it.

Tailbone injuries SUCK!

But I can sit on it and make potatopotatopotato noises..

Maybe color and chrome isn't the solution.  Maybe it's color on chrome ?

twolane... both your examples are great.. its just something about either powdercoating the forks and cowbells or chroming them... looks 1/2 cooked.

All kidding aside I had the same reaction when first saw the (then) new bikes with the colored cowbells over the chrome legs.  Just doesn't look right to me.  And does look 1/2 done.  If the color were top and bottom with chrome in the middle might look better.  But as it appears someone had a good idea and then just stopped halfway down.

My thoughts too.... excuse the mess of a shop, things where hectic that week!

[Twolanerider]

If I had a skunk it would get black legs and cowbells.  Quick.

[110tHunDer]

 
Yeah.  To make it skunkier.

Twolane is that your latest project.Nice job.Looks slick.

The cowbells are cheaper than the lower legs.... 

but the same amount of labor to change them... so its a draw...

WHat I dont like about the black PC, is its more of a dark grey and not truly black.

When the bike is inthe sun it is obvious the black PC does not match the paint (or its just my OCD misbehavin)

[110tHunDer]

 
But it would be the same gloss black PC that's on the engine components, therefore, a match from that (OCD) perspective, right?

Yes it is... but when you transition from the lower paint color to the PC, you can see the obvious difference. I've never expected an engine to be the same color as the paint (my names not twolane )
