Default Who is taking the black OFF their bike?

The trend for quite some time now has been to black everything out. Who is taking a bike that was headed down the path of being blacked out and removing the black parts with either polished, chrome, painted, other colors of powder coat, or anything other than black? Just curious who's not blacking out everything.

I'm with you Flea... The only thing black on my bike are the tires. The blacked out look is passé. Over done and tiresomely boring. If you want to be a conformist go black, it has no originality.

I am removing some factory black, adding some chrome or silver in select spots to accentuate the blue. I want the blue to stand out so that when you look at Blu, you fixate on the colour.
I have only had Blu since Oct 1. My Street Bob was blue as well and really stood out when it was lined up with all of my buddy's black bikes. I always knew which bike was mine.

Just where did I bring up chrome? That's what I mean, you guys who think all black can't think about anything else. All anything gets boring to me.

What's assigning about your remark is that the likelihood of whatever you are riding being any less common, conformist or passé is probably nil. Anymore, anything that is truly unique tends to be something totally off the wall...a total one-off ride. Or maybe that's what you ride? Care to show us some pics of your most original and non-conformist motorcycle?
