The funny thing is, I had actually been searching for a Nightrain for ages. Seems the only ones I can come by have been used and abused, and I didn't want to mess with working on a rusty bike. Basically, I pretty much gave up on the Nightrain and found a heck of a deal on this Custom. The chrome IS starting to grow on me, so I'm liking the chrome idea more and more. That and you guys here have talked me into keeping it. I may do some things here or there to make it "different" along the process, but I'll keep with the chrome theme as a whole.

Thanks for all the opinions and input!

TboneTony - loved your story. Was probably the most influential post in this thread. Thanks for sharing.

I'm biased. Guess what I choose?

Hmmm....either you're like Mr. Black and Mr. White and go opposite your namesake, or you truly are a chrome junkie. Which is it?

Lol! Thanks for the input.
I'm excited to get started on this new project!
