Default need suggestions on street bob customizing?

I love the wayh my street bob looks from the right side with the chrome big radius pipes they really jump out against the black engine.&nbsp\\; But the other side looks plain.&nbsp\\; I was thinking of chromeing the belt guards and sprocket cover and a plain chrome derby cover.&nbsp\\; I dont want much chrome just enough.&nbsp\\; How do you think it will look?

chrome and black look great together, just beware... chrome is addictive... look at Jake, he will have to go to Chromes version of AA wiht all the work he has into that bike he has... then again, his bike is sick!

If you decide on a plain chrome derby cover, PM me, I'm changing mine out for something else.

I picked up another dash for my street bob and had it chromed.&nbsp\\; Made a big diffence on the black tank.&nbsp\\; Gives the bob a hole new look.&nbsp\\;
