Well since you asked. Imlikecit as is. Just the right balance. IMHO you can easily overdo Chrome with the denim paint.
Put, I don't care for the fork sliders in the standard (Un) finish.
Oh yeah...and I'm a chrome *****.

The cool thing about motorcycles is you can do whatever the **** you want. If you like it, that's all that matters. What's ugly to me is super cool to the next guy. If some guy tries to insult me by making fun of my bike, that tells me a lot about what type of rider they are.
If you're asking my opinion, I think it looks good. Nice balance of black and chrome, with no tacky bits.
But if you really want to go all out...
EDIT:
Me too. I would have preferred my bike to be the sand color, but it was used so I didn't have a choice. I'm currently adding chrome accents to the front end to mix it up a bit. If you're going for blacked out, I feel you really have to go all the way... every little bit needs to be black. But chrome adds contrast and makes the blacks actually look darker. Psychology of color.
