Default Chromed fatboy!

Was out riding today when a chromed fatboy passed by.I'm talking fully chromed tank and fenders,it was blinding.I've seen bikes like this before but not on a harley.I personally did not like it at all.I know to each his own but it has to be a pain to keep clean especially those dreaded fingerprints.What's everyones thoughts on this?

I love chrome but that would be overkill.

Saw a V-Rod at a show recently that made me do a double take. It was pretty fully chromed out. It looked okay on a VRod-- kind of "Terminator" like.

I love chrome but like contrast better.

I need to see other color in there too. I think chrome looks better when next to another color.

I cleaned my bike for the first time today...and it took about 1 1/2 hours.
Don't think I got everything either, saw a water spot or two I missed.
All chrome? HE** NO. [sm=exactly.gif]

I like it. Harleys are about personalization and making it "yours"

As far as cleaning. Mine hasn't seen an all out bath yet other than the one time I caught in the rain

I find cleaning chrome easy to do. Buy the right detailing spray, the right cloths, some music, cool garage, and a few cold ones, and it's no problem. And keep a small cloth in the bag for fingerprints on dash ****. But that is a loooottt of chrome......and there is no contrast there.......but it's not mine.
