Can't tell if you have too much chrome without a picture of it.

But, I happen to like chrome also.

An old Sporty I once had.

My 02 Ultra is loaded with chrome, from head to toe!
I'm doing my 09 a little different, engine is all chrome,
front end too, fenders clean.
Black is in, chrome is out, but I don't care what's in or out, I like my bike's I paid for it.

I'm pretty sure I've removed more chrome than added. Sad thing is at times, black is more expensive than chrome even if one can find the part in black.

Chrome won't get you home, but it looks good while your pushing it.

I'm not big on chrome ...... I see bikes that have so much it just looks like a blob of chrome to me.

That said i say chrome the whole damn thing if thats what you like it's your scoot.
