Once you go black...

bporcelli,

A lot of people with bikes will look at you funny. You can buy their stock black parts on eBay for cheap though since they traded for chrome. Now I wash my bike once or twice a season instead of each weekend. It's definitely a different look, and every now and then someone appreciates it. Good luck.

sounds like a great making it black plan. I like that look myself, it's grown on me. why stainless steel cables though, seems out of place, unless they're black stainless steel and I've never heard of that.

good luck and ride safe.

I currently own a black bike and have owned a black car in the past. Black is a beautiful color, but there is more to maintaining black and having it look good than any other color I know of if you truly don't like to wash.

You're right about gloss black paint. It looks awesome after a wash and wax, but it's probably the hardest color to keep looking that nice. The flat black on the street bob tank and wrinkle black parts are low maintenance. The dirt just gives them a nice "weathered" look.

Brownjams,
I currently use Performance Machine brakes that are STOUT. My last HD the brakes $ucked, spongy as hell. To improve them I used floating rotors and stainless steel braided lines. That seemed to help, I know my 06 has the new 4 piston brakes but I still don't think I will get the squeeze I got from the PM's.

Ah that makes sense then.

good luck and look forward to seeing some pics when you get it all together.
