Anyone still like chrome dynas?
Seems like every time I turn around I see another black bike. Not paint but black motor covers, handlebars, exhaust everything! Now Im not hating on black bikes. I like a well put together bike but what happened to chroming everything you could? Is there anyone that still likes the shinny stuff?

I too like a balance of chrome and paint. Totally blacked out bikes look like someone's kid found a rattle can and decided to paint their bicycle themselves.
Or like the owner couldn't afford chrome. I know lots of people on here spend big money covering up the chrome with powder coating but don't get it. It's much easier to keep chrome clean than black.

I like chrome bikes, nothing wrong with them, hell, both my RK and my UC had plenty of chrome on them.
Hell, right this very minute half of my ignition key looks half chrome, half black but I'm gonna leave the shiny part of it shiny, for balance.
Nope, you don't see me bashing or denigrating folks' bikes for what they do with them.

I like both. Had a blacked out Iron 883. Traded it in for a shiny Street Bob with Big Red Flake paint. Plenty of room out there on the road for both.

Even harley is doing it from the factory with wrinkle black motor covers. My local dealer had a screaming eagle street glide with gloss black primary, cam, and Trans covers and it didn't look bad but it wasn't too long ago that screaming eagle edition stuff better be packed with chrome

I like both. Right now I'm blacking out my fat bob, but I could see myself chroming out my next bike. It's all about the fun of doing it. My biggest issue with stock equipment is that I want to DO STUFF. Riding is great, but I also love tinkering.
