Default I need a "little" more chrome

I want to keep Bob pretty much the way you see it in my sig pic but I also want to add a little chrome to it so I might add a chrome transmission cover and replace the skull/wings sticker with a chrome band on the battery cover.
What do you think? remember, just a little chrome.
I'll also take new pictures today with the new headlight I installed last week.
Not sure what I want to do to the other side.

I plan on doing a lot of high gloss black powder coating real soon. The wheels, the forks,triples trees, all the covers on the engine, the forward controls, levers and maybe a few other things. Basically, anything the i keep finding rust, corosion, or pitting on needs to be powder coated.

Thanks, I think I'll just leave it as is, let me explain:
I had 2 other Harleys', a Sporty 1200 and a Springer Softail. Both bikes had a stage 1 done to them plus cams, carbs, etc.
After spending all that money I now feel it was a waste. If I want a big hp/tq motor I might as well build a chopper.

That's right. Remember, there is no such thing as a "little" more chrome.

I remember when ALL I wanted was just a "little" chrome just to accent the black.

I now attend a chrome anonymous meeting 2 times a week....sometimes more if Harley has a sale going on.

Remember chrome don't get you home....but it still looks good even if you're stuck on the side of the road.
