My CB Hondas I had as kid had chrome fenders on them ...and some accents thrown around (1970's models).... ... Chrome durable AF ..most of mine is newer chrome form 2002-04 but its hung in there & none of it has popped or peeled in the last 22 years ...Gets boogered up good with the bug army down here but cleans up easily.. I too am a chrome hoe !!

Much better. Well done on picking one with some black in it as it retains the nice theme you have of blending black and chrome. Super classy look.

My 19 has a chrome heavy breather. While it seems to appear strange right now, my overall goal is to add in more chrome parts to give it a nice black/chrome mix. A work in progress. Unfortunately the chrome 114s were released after my purchase. Oh well. But I have gotten used to the black as a nice change and I will be adding a few (just a few) strategic chrome parts here and there (cam, primary, coil covers, shift levers etc.). Gotta keep the bars, sissy bar and engine guard black because well it's hard to charge the fork. My OCD says so! LOL

I don't enjoy walking around looking at the new Harleys, way to much black. Little to no chrome. I tell this to all the dealers I've been to, they say I'm not the only one that feels this way, but we can only sell what they give us. I've been looking at a new Haitge for 2 years, most are all black. When I do find a chrome one it's not a color I like. I like dark red and a few orange colors. I keep looking for a used 20 or newer in red with chrome locally . I see black ones with chrome but I like that dark red. I'm still looking.
