Here's a couple pics of just the accessories in chrome...
Thanks, yep that's the ticket and looks good. For grins if the bar isn't perfect fit I'll look for an appropriate chrome replacement. In my past touring I used Wild 1 575 and 578 chubbys and was very satisfied with the quality. I'll see how the stock are first.
Local dealer took a Heritage and did one with chrome primary and some other chrome adds. Apparently it got a lot of attention especially form those who don't like the black-out trend. No monetary reason the bike can't really shine with chrome. Might be a slow drawn out process.
The guy chromed the motor out as well (along with the white walls etc.) The other side has a chrome primary cover etc. I like it, but I doubt I'd go there myself. At one time I was a fan of the white walls, but now not so much.
For me, I'll just do the accessories in chrome (sissy bar, engine guard, tour pack rack, fangs) and leave it at that. When I get around to dealing with the exhaust, it will remain chrome.
Thats the one. I went with black for engine and bag guards. More congruent with the frame to my eye. I am currently splashing a few bits of chrome on the engine; head, cam chest, primary and transmission covers. Pushrod covers are going black and air cleaner will remain black. Undecided on handlebars though, chrome with black risers might be best.
Black and Chrome, Chrome and Black. Balancing the two is what makes the difference in my opinion. Love these bikes because there are so many options!

Well tomorrow I'll pick up the 2019 Heritage in 2 tone reds. It's leaving the "Harley House",(dealer) with the chrome engine guard, chrome passenger back rest and luggage rack. I'll ride it a bit and if I like the stock bars, I'll swap for the chrome. I'll add my angled pegs to the engine guard, chrome. I'm happy with the sound stock so if that continues no stage 1 this time.
I test rode a couple 18 Heritages, one stock, one with HD stage 1. Frankly couldn't tell the difference. But lot smoother than my Fatboy.

Here it is with chrome rocker and cam covers. I left the AC black and blacked out the pushrod covers. I want to add a piece here and there, working slowly until I find the right balance for me.

Reason: Wrong photo
I see you replaced your stock mufflers with what looks like V&H 300's w/black tips. I did the same but with chrome ends. What did you do with your stock mufflers? I'd like to sell mine (300 miles on them) if there's a market. Any advice?
