I'm a chrome *****, but only because it looks bitchin' on vivid black. So, a little shiny is ok, but some shiny black would compliment the chrome real nice...
Thats a very nice looking bike. Myself I'd go with chrome...everything.
I know the blacked out look is very popular and I love the look myself but I like chrome more, maybe I'm a little behind the times but I just love chrome and that bike has a beautiful paint scheme which would flow well with more and more chrome!
Lose the chrome, the few pieces of chrome on that bike look out of place...like those slipons on a black header. Have Powderpro do your wheels gloss black, that machined lip on the wheels has gotta go. Just my .02
First, I know everyone has an opinion including me. Its all subjective, but curious what you all thought.
I am getting a Fatboy lo anniversary 110 edition. It has a mixture of Black, Brown and Chrome. I like the blacked out look, but I think changing everything to black will dampen the paint and the brown. So looking to do a mix of black, brown and chrome, much like it is now. Listing the parts and color, just curious what you thought.
Mustach engine guard - black
V&H 2into2 big radius - black
Keeping the air filter as its the 110 anniversary
Street Slammer handlebars - chrome, with chrome braids
leatherworks swing arm bag - distressed brown
kinda odd trying for a black,brown, chrome look but I love out the bike looks and do not want to distract from that too much.

I wouldn't black out everything. The paint scheme is dark but has contrast. I would get rid of the chrome but keep the satin and add gloss black parts. This will keep it multidimensional.
