How long do you keep a bike? Chrome is my personal choice because it's timeless and easy to take care of. Black is super trendy right now but in a few years it may not be "cool" anymore. I have a chromed out 17 SGS and a blacked out 17 road king special and the black is already looking dull on the exhaust of the road king

Thanks for all responses! I'm really torn between the two! I'll continue to play with the bike builder and check out all of your nice rides as spring slowly makes its way here in Michigan! I'll go the the dealer and kick some tires and see which one I keep gravitating to!

I keep seeing trendy and the blacked out look used together, yet many many bikes have come blacked out for years and years, guys have been doing in on their Harleys for at least a decade I can recal, just because they FINALLY started offering them from the factory, their trendy lol

Heh heh. It's catching on. Seriously though -- sometimes chrome is outstanding, like Puttnutt24's Fat Boy -- that thing is sheer beauty. And sometimes, chrome's gotta go. But to be fair, ain't none of our opinions matter here -- OP's gotta live with the choice, so -- it's all on him.
