Good mix of black to chrome

After my last bike went with lots of chrome, I want to find a balance of black with chrome highlighting spots. For instance...bars are black and the controls (or poss just the buttons will be chrome). This may be all limited to how people see things, but which H-D collection do you all feel have a good mix of black with chrome highlights? For instance throttles, pedals, etc. My breakout is the new blue color...so I still like the chrome in there, but want it to more accents than take up whole areas.

I am in the same boat as you but why stick to hd parts? there are a lot of aftermarket parts that will help you achieve a black and chrome theme

All in the eye of the beholder....Too much chrome is never a bad thing.

Only going that route because there tends to be more sets in HD than other areas. I can get grips from some place...but finding other pieces that look similar or maintain consistency could be tough. Though if anyone knows some decent aftermarket collections, I would be willing to look it over.

Black with some chrome accents looks way better that chrome with black accents, in my opinion.

Black needs the chrome accents to give it depth...

Not to drift too far from your original question, but I do like the burst collection. It's more of a black and brushed contrast than a black and chrome contrast though.
