Default Too much?

Saw this bike today. I will keep my opinion to myself as it may belong to a member here but my eyes hurt being inside. Can't imagine it in the sun. Replaced the tank on my Road King to a 7 gallon and the tank console is one thing I will not miss as could not stand the chrome reflecting in my eyes.

Wow. Even the frame. I prefer to have contrast on a bike.

You would need SPF90 if you road that thing.

That looks almost dangerous. The trim around the shifter in my car blinds me on sunny days. I can't imagine a whole bike like that lol.
