Default Mixing Black and Chrome

Any Pics of mixed Black and Chrome bike? I am in the middle of putting new bars on my Wideglide. Since I am waiting on parts, I am thinking of putting on Black brake, clutch levers on. I have the Skull grips ready and chrome switches. I bought the chrome switch housings and reservoir cover but I think the cover looks cheap and I don’t want to drop the 300 on the chrome reservoir set up. Any thoughts?

I have been trying to leave as much black as I can, although the chrome seems to be adding up lol

On the bars I left the housings black (plan to powdercoat gloss black eventually) and went chrome around it. (Chrome levers, switch covers, chrome hardware, Chrome reservoir cover, black housings, black perches.)

Heres a mix. I don't plan on doing any more chrome, and may pull the strut covers off the back.

I have to say I am biased , but I think my bike is the perfect mix of black and chrome, I only want to do something with the battery box band, chrome or black...but it can't stay aluminum lookin'
