Wow. Now that's some serious chrome. I would do something like that to my Ultra but that would take way too much time to polish it all.

what? No stainless brake lines to be had where the bike is at? Aluminum foil on the plug wires....and SEAT!
That person is trying to make a statement...I don't know what is is, but they might have that "compulsive disorder"....let me know if he stutters.

Too much of a good thing, IMHO. I prefer the contrast between chrome and black and paint.
