Default Chrome Front End Package? Or Chrome Lowers Only?

I am debating the change to all black or chrome front end on my Street Glide. My question is if I was to go with the chrome front end, how many of you purchased the Chrome Front End Package from HD? Or did you just buy the chrome lower forks? I thought the Street Glide came with the chrome upper covers or is that just a polished cover on it now? Guess I would want all the chrome axle nuts and such so the package is probably the best route to take.

Just polished but the additional upper is only $50.00 or so.

Did the package in chrome. Looks great. Lots of $$$, but heck, it's a Harley!

You should find out what it costs to have your parts taken to a chromer or powder coater. Probably cheaper and then you don't have to try and get rid of parts others are looking for in chrome or powder...

I went with the chrome on the front end of my SG and would not hesitate to do it again. Also, saved some $$$ by not going through HD.
