I used to own a 379 Peterbilt and approve this message. I had nearly a $G on the dash alone. Ive backed off that alot. Ive started liking the blacks but not totally murdered out just yet.

I know this is an age old debate here but thought maybe some of you had some pics too help/show off your work. I have a 09 Vivid Black Streetglide thats still a blank canvas for the most part. Nothing looks better than a black bike with lotsa chrome but a properly blacked out bike with some chrome accents is right there with it. Heres my problem, think I might have started out a little off.
Found a good deal on eBay for chrome 4 pt docking setup and a sissy bar for the wife so I bought it. Then I decided I wanted to put some PYO bagger bars on it and found a good deal on a set of 10" black ones so bought them. So now I got black bars/controls/grips/mirrors and chromed out sissy bar and docking station. I think the sissy bar part might have looked better in black. Even then I would think you would have to take off the strut covers/frame covers or whatever they are back there and have them blacked out. Those in the factory chrome with black docking hardware bolted to them might look a little off.
Im not going full on blacked out look. Probably blacked out fork legs/chrome turn signals/brackets and nice chrome 21" front wheel. Just ramblin here, bored at work and figured yall got some $.02 to put in so have at it. Thanks for all the help so far guys, been a lifesaver.
