"Black Ice" instead of Chrome?
« on: February 09, 2012, 07:42:26 PM »
I just saw a (non-CVO) Street Glide with every shiny bit sent out for the "Black Ice" treatment.  It's a nickel product, but it's effectively black chrome.

I'm thinking the Skunk (or any FLTRXSE or the Krypto SESG) would be the perfect candidate for such a thing.  Handlebars, forks, and wheels to pipes and primary, and everything in between.  It's about 20% more $ than chrome.

Anybody done this?  (I know a member did pipes on a Krypto SESG.)

I'm thinking of doing everything but the engine itself.

Wheels
Calipers
Front End
Handlebars
Hand Controls
Mirrors
Master Cylinders
Engine Guards
Foot Controls
Floorboards
Kickstand
Pipes
Hardware Kits
All Chrome Trim
All Bolts/Fasteners

What would you specifically leave factory black?  What would you leave chrome or have chromed instead of Black-Iced?

I think the black ice would be nice against a granite engine.. not as much a black engine...

We dont have a plater in Hawaii so it would mean replicating it in a PC color or sending parts away to have them done ($$$$ shipping)
