too much chrome?
Really now. How much chrome is too much chrome? I've got a 94 ultra classic with chrome in ridiculous places. Seems like kids these days are digging flat colors, and little to no chrome at all. I want more chrome. I don't think there's such a thing as too much. Does anyone know where to find chrome wall tires?

I prefer to keep the same amount of chrome on a scoot that the bike came with... but I'm ok with chrome sissybars and things like that. There comes in a point in time where chrome accessories get in the way and are on there just for stupidity though... the lifter blocks on my bike have a chrome cover and they are a pain in the ***!!!

Never heard of chrome wall tires,would not be good if you hit a hard bump.

Last month my dealer had a, I think Fat Boy, that was all chrome - tank, frame, everything except tires,handgrips etc. Looked nice. I don't think I'd want it though. On a hot day you could burn some skin off. 
Also can't stand the new flat paint look either. I'd rather have the chrome then the flat paint.

It is when you chrome yourself that you have gone too far.

Really don't like the flat paint look either. I'd rather have the chrome one instead of the flat paint one. Don't know the reason anyone would want a flat paint bike. Maybe someone can give a reason.
