I love chrome but it seems like all I see anymore is people powder coating things and blacking things out. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Everyone should do what they want. And the lacked out stuff looks cool when it's done right.
I'm just wondering if I'm the last person on earth that still likes chrome.
I guess we're a dying breed.

I love Chrome but I am honestly about done with putting chrome on mine. I just have a few pieces left i want to do and trying to keep some black on it as well. Nothing like black and chrome!
Love the blacked out look as well. If I would of got something with a black motor I would of went mainly blacked out with a touch of chrome here and there.

I love chrome, but just like black more! 
But, you have to think about it this way....... yeah, we see a sh!tload of blacked out bikes on these forums. But how often do you see them on the road, or in person. Every bike show I've been too, I'd only see a handful of blacked out bikes out of hundreds of chrome bikes. So, I guess I'm a rarity down here in south Florida... you see it here on the forums a lot because well, we only makes up a VERY small percentage of the riders out there. Did that make sense?

chrome seems the old way. it is cool. I do like chrome. but I hate that everyone is turning to black. I have been blacking stuff out for years, now it is the fad. i have always loved black. now just because it is what EVERYONE is doing i am pondering going back to the good old chrome
