I got 35 pieces powdered for $284. The tank strip and gas lid from Harley in black would run $300-350. Kinda a no brainer.

....damn!

I guess I was thinking more like "hey, I can sell my chrome XXX for $XXX and buy the black one.."

....the more you know, I guess..

I have a black bike, but don't the total 'murdered' out look. I like chrome. I have black forks on the way, and will probably do a chrome exchange on the OEM wheel, and powder coat the remaining parts as I see fit... hoping it wont be too hard to find that balance.

Thanks!
