Can't believe this hasn't been stated: You bought a BLACK bike.

Again I think both can look great, but I have to say that when I'm downtown, and return to my bike, if it's the Rocker C, "chrome laden," maybe 1 out of 10 times someone is checking it out. If its the blacked out Breakout it's seems like it's more than half the time!!! Does that tell you what the general public prefers right now??

Exactly. All chrome and all black is okay for others and some look okay but I prefer a 50/50 mix.

One point that hasn't been raised: blacked out fuel caps, gauges, handlebars, mirror stems, headlight housing, etc. don't reflect near as much sunshine back into your eyes. I don't mind chrome, just not located where it can adversely affect my visability.
