Does chroming out a street bob go against what a "bobbed" bike should be?

Show off your chromed street bob pics. I'd like to see them. Any amount of chrome is welcome.

I'm starting a pile of chrome parts to install a little at a time and polishing aluminum.
The finishing touch on the bike will be a custom paint job. That's a while from now though.

 

 

I've heard a couple different definitions but I like to think a Bobber is a bike that's had all excess weight removed in the pursuit of performance. Somewhat less applicable today than it was in the 40s & 50s. Most Dynas are fairly lean (for a Harley) to begin with.

 

My interpretation of a bobber was always just that less is more. I feel like over chroming a bobber would defeat the purpose of simplicity but that candy flake dyna up there sure looks good

 

 

Love mine....notice the floorboards....made this bike unbelievable.

The great thing about bobbers is that you can add what ever you want!
