Mines not chromed out but I've added a good bit of chrome,especially the nuts and bolts,they are about all chrome now.About the only other thingI might add is a chromed outer primary,but I'm undecided about that.





Good Luck

Tom

Why ?
I know mine is not particularly 'bobbed' but I bought a St Bob because it wasn't a chrome monster ... there's plenty of Dynas that are !

put a few skulls on mine. when I bought mine, the handgrips and footpegs had that "skull theme". so I kept that "theme". I'm lazy.

I forget whose bike this is, but it is a member of this forum. I've had it as a backround on my computer for a while. Totally sweet!

Personally, I've been back and forth in my head whether or not to chrome mine out. I definetly like the blacked out look. I don't think it looks cheap next to chrome at all. Much easier to clean!

I bought the Bob for the lowered stance and the price.
It was just a base for me to do my own thing with.


Black and chrome is beautiful!
