Default Chrome front fender
I am asking this question and taking a pole on this. I have damage to my front fender Insurance is go to replace the fender from Harley. I have a black 2011 RKC. I was thinking about going with the chrome front fender instead. Is here any pros or cons why I should or shouldn't go with it? Tell me what you think. Would the chrome be more nostalgic? Would the chrome dent more with any degree?

I didn't vote, both are nice, bikes are personal choice, go with what you like.

There is a picture of a black RKC with a chrome fender in the new 2012 parts catalogs on 2nd page.

Seen the chrome front fender before. IMHO, its too much and detracts from the rest of the bike...
