Just blend it. Not all black and not all chrome. Throw in some carbon fiber.

I like chrome....

But some bikes look good with black. A friend just bought a white Road Glide and it has black bars, air cleaner, exhaust, etc. The contrast looks really sharp.

Nothing looks better than a black bike with a beautiful chrome engine.

I've always had black machines.....it is practical. Chrome parts reflect too much light back at me when I ride. Black paint is cheap and easy. I have a subdued personality that doesn't require attention.

I appreciate fancy paint bikes with lots of chrome and custom. They look great. Just not my style.

I like black and I like chrome. What I don’t like is the bike that has every single chrome cover that’s made for it installed. Too much looks like ****, especially the Kuryakyn plastic crap.

I agree with this∆∆∆∆. I like the looks of some of the murdered bikes, but for ME, I dig chrome. AND glossy black tins. Lol. My breakout is kind of a tasteful mix of both.
