Oh, my friend; it's about the contrast of black and chrome. Black rocker covers, pushrod covers and lifter covers, and that beautiful engine starts to disappear in to a black shapeless boring blob. It's the lines and the contrasts that make these engines what they are; she's exposed; naked. Show her off. She wants her pushrod covers gleaming in the sun; her cut engine edges shining, a bit of bling contrasting her black....

That's why I'm torn. I want to maintain a certain level of contrast but every time I walk by the bike, the chrome rocker covers bug me for some reason. Brushed would good, but I don't have any other brushed metal on the bike. Honestly, I prefer the blonde/natural engines, but I'm not about to disassemble the entire drivetrain to have it all stripped and bead blasted.
