Default Black and chrome
I want to paint my bike black or two tone and I want to get some ideas of how much chrome to leave and what to powder coat black so if you got a black and chrome bike I would love to see it Thanks

if i was you... i would leave the motor and drive line, wheels, and pulley chrome, and blck everthing else out. really looks clean
to give you an idea here is a road king we did a few months ago basicly just like that... i would prob black out the pipes as well (going to shortly on this one as well)
