Chrome ROCKS

I'm an old guy (Classic Rock man also) and I like the chrome. Not a fan of the black out look, but that's just personal preference. I can't imagine how the OP got a reflection in the eye off a gas cap. That's a pretty extreme angle for glare.

Chrome always works best...........So you can find the parts easier when they fall off.

I've had the same problem with my 48. I ended up replacing the factory cap with a HD Diamond Black one. The glare only occurred between 11am and 1pm, but it was incredibly bright and annoying.

sorry for the rant but my retina's are still on fire haha

I just bought a pair of mirror riding glasses I can't see to good in bright light so I need really dark sunglasses. The best thing is they look like chrome.
