I think I agree with you...the contrasting colors stand out more...but I do get a lot of compliments on the brown color scheme, too.  Since it is relatively easy to switch colors, I will most likely keep both sets and change it up once in a while.....the black chaps for the crash bar have been ordered, so I will have them on soon.  I like them for going on early season rides....

To me, the blacked version really compliments the bike, because it let that nice 2-tone pop up even more.

I'm kinda leaning in that direction, too.  Plus, if I want to get a nice studded black trunk big enough for a couple of helmets, there are a lot more options in black than medium brown or tan....

Both look great, however I like the black.  8)

I have decided to alternate from Brown/Tan to Black, depending upon my mood....LOL  My wife found some 100% leather saddlebags that had never been mounted at a local thrift store.  Got them for $40 which left me a little $$ to finish going to full black on my 1500.  Picked up a NOS Classic seat for $120 delivered and added the studs.Total change-out time is 15 minutes.  I still need to get the matching lowers for the Lindby bar in black, but they're coming soon.... Can't decide which look I like better.....

Found something to fill in the empty space where the fender rail attaches to the front of the fender.  Was able to match the color pretty well.  Cost me $5 off of a seller on Pinterest (my wife found it for me).  I had to grind down the top and bottom a little to get it to fit, but at least now the gap is filled in a little.

Very nice, it compliments the Drifter well....

no...very heavy duty vinyl.  but the quality seems very good....they offer lots of different styles of chaps, tank and fender bibs...located in Canada.  These cost me $147 delivered for the set.  They were the only ones I could find in brown for my Lindby multibar....

That looks like a really nice product.  Real leather?
