I've always liked black and chrome being equal. If I had the money, I'd do more...rims, oil tank, sissy bar, fender bracket.

I agree with the one color accented by the other....my thoughts are chrome accented with the black. I have a set of chrome lower legs I intended on using before the direction change.

I started down the powder coat road, and got real deep, real quick. I need to bring back some chrome I think on mine. Beware!

SoCal,

Those tank badges and grips are sick. Well done.

On my Standard the choice was rather easy, you already started off with a black frame, a black oil tank and black tins. From there it's just balancing the chrome off of the dominant color black. It really can't get much better than that.
