Define 'Blacked Out'?
To me, when I see bikes with black pipes and forks blacked out including bars...its no longer a black bike, but a 'blacked out'.
I know the term is based on one's interpatation. Therefore, what's yours?
Before anyone gets their panties in a knot, this is just a discussion and no offense to all the awesome bikes out there.
Cheers

..removing most, if not all, chrome and polished aluminum and replacing with black.
although I stuck with a chrome exhaust and AC on mine, just for the contrast, and to be different.
I don't think "blacked out" has to be all black...

A blackout is a phenomenon caused by the intake of an alcoholic beverage or other substance in which long term memory creation is impaired or there is a complete inability to recall the past.
Woe up up from a balck out when I told my wife she needed to give me some cash to pay for my new wheels that were about ready to ship.
Jam's bike is something I would still consider blacked out even with the chrome pipes and AC. I'm not too happy black became so popular. I started doing this to my last bike almost 7 years ago. It wasnt so popular then. Just got tired of chrome. Now I'm "following a fad." Oh well I like what I like.
My bike is super blacked out to include the headlight. You'll need to change yours if you want to be cool.

When I first bought my bike I was polishing some chrome with a microfiber cloth and it scratched the s h I t out of the derby cover. That was pretty much my experience with all my chrome pieces. I started with my derby cover and slowly I replaced most of the chrome. Shazam!! Blackout…
