Looking Good Chrome or Black?
Starting out with two detailed bikes, one chromed out and the other blacked out.
After a days riding together (no rain involved), which one is going to look the cleanest.
Also which one takes less time to clean?

+1, I wash my bike every 2 weeks no matter how dirty it is, friend got a Softail standard w/silver engine and tranny, he cleans his once or twice each riding season, his bike doesn't look dirty at all. Chrome! You got to pay for it.

A buddy of mine bought one of the black 883 iron's to me it still looks dirty after it's just washed. Now another friend went with a denim silver bike it never looks dirty. Personally I like having chrome to keep clean a quick detail spray and a microfibre cloth work great.

I'm too fussy to have a chrome queen. I only have alittle on my bike now and it never looks clean enough for me.

I ride my NT every day and folks always tell me how clean it looks.
If it had a bigger fender up front, it would never look bad.
With that small fender, it looks like crap after getting caught in the rain.
I had a Vivid black Super Glide before this bike and I spent way more time cleaning that bike.
