No. But like others have said, it is completely subjective. Mine is becoming darker as I speak. I can't wait to get home from Egypt to get on it. Pic will follow, but you will have to wait until August.

Can you tell me what size tire you are running? They look BIGGER/Thicker...

Mine still has a little too much chrome, but it'll have to wait for a teardown to get rid of some.
