Default Help me decide

I am on the fence on this. I am thinking about getting the wrinkle black covers for my RK, I will do the Primary, tranny (side and top), cam cover, and the upper part of the rocker box. I will be going to a chrome front end and plan to leave the engine guard and bag guard as is. I will also be leaving the skull collection points cover, A/C insert (no football), and derby cover in place. Just please give me a yes or no.....

Thanks for the votes guys, so far the chrome is beating out the black by a good margin

I would have said yes if you were going with the blacked out front end, etc., but with the chrome, I think you should leave the chrome to match up... Again, just one opinion.

less chrome...less to polish. I have slowly begun to replace the chrome with black powder coated parts on every bike I have owned. I don't feel quite as guilty riding a dirty blacked out bike.

+1. IMHO you need to do the frone end too if you're gonna do the engine covers. Again, just my $.02.
