Mostly blacked out with some touches of chrome. All chrome is old school, same look for decades...

how does a bunch of people saying chrome, and a bunch of other people saying black, help you at all?
I don't understand people that ask opinions from strangers, or the people that respond.
I guess it's an attention thing.
Do it your way, post pics, but asking people to help you decide is pathetic.

I like the black against white or silver but chrome on almost every other color.

If you are tired of chrome, you will get tired of black. Pay to make it black, then pay to bring it back...the American way. Your bike, your money, your choice. Why ask us? Are you trying to please YOURSELF or everyone else?

No I was looking for pics so I could get an idea of how it looked. My 05 EG Standard I blacked out most things and loved the look. Since this bike is blue I wanted to see how other bikes looked for an idea.

I made my decision - going with chrome lowers and black uppers. Placed my order with ***** Shiny yesterday.

Is it career ending for a white person to own and ride a blacked out bike?
