Wideglide chrome front fender

How would it look? I keep trying to imagine what it would like on my bike. I cant decide if I want to do it or not. They are all over Ebay for pretty reasonable prices. Anyone got one? Post some pics if you do.

RE: Wideglide chrome front fender

I gotta say, the only bikes I ever see with a chrome front fender are the (I am guessing) late 70's, early 80's metric bikes. I am really not a fan of fenders or the tank being chromed. In the case of your bike, I think the black fender up front breaks up all the "silver" look. IMO, it's a great contrast as is. What is the motivation behind thinking of a chrome fender?

You're right. It's an old school look. This 93 is one of the newest bikes I have had. A chrome front fender would take it back in time to the 70's look. That's what I am thinking of doing. The bobtail rear fender is old school. Cant decide?????
