Your bike, do what you'll like. Some models look great blacked out and some just don't. IMHO. Your is not one of them. CHROME, CHROME, CHROME is the way to go with your model ride. Gonna look sweet. Good Luck and ride safe...

Judging by all the responses here, the question now becomes: Do you want a bike that's unique and stands out in a crowd, or one that gets lost in a crowd because it looks like every other one?

Or, OTOH, why not do both?

My bike has more black than chrome, but I gotta admit, I am starting to swing to the shiny stuff back

I get the whole black out thing, and admit it looks good on some bikes, but chrome will always be king.

I like the black and chrome mix, so I did both.
But its your bike, so do what makes you happy

The "Blacked out" thing is just a fad...Chrome it out.

I prefer a little of both myself. But that wasn't an option.

Make it your own. That does not have to be big and flashy either. I just got these bars and pipes but before that, the little things made my bike stand out more than others. Pictures do NONE of OUR bikes any good here but for the most part my bike "appeared" pretty much stock. Once you have stopped and looked at it though, the longer you look the more you find. I'm pretty much the opposite from most I guess, I think it's the little things that makes a bike unique and stand out from all the others.
