When I got mine I told myself it was going to stay stock......then my azzzzz started hurting so I got a new Mustang seat...............I need a place for my glasses so I got a windshield bag.......where could I put a few tools just in case? Here comes some saddle bags. So after I deduct those non-chrome items from the added accessories list I have installed I only have $2900 in chrome! Not bad for keeping it stock eh?
Wow I am impressed you have some good will power very proud

The problem is that there aren't many alternatives to chrome. Unless you want to do as one post said, "buy the chrome part and powdercoat it black". Somebody could make a bunch of money selling a line of black parts.

The parts lady at the stealership calls me a "Chrome-a- sexual". I'm not sure how to take it.

Chrome is like cleavage, I can never see enough.


Whoever said, "Chrome won't get you home" was going in the wrong direction!

Fat bob, I am headed the other way, want to trade me your stock black mirrors for my shiny chrome stock mirrors....( see ,that's how much I dislike chrome, I don't even know how to spell "shiny" ) anyway, we can swap straight up if you are interested, save me one more trip to the powder coating joint...

I took upwhiskey andcigarettes to help occupy my time to overcome my chrome fetish.

Now I find myself hungover and coughing while I polish the bike.
