Default RE: American Midwest Chrome

Had an 02 Heritage with custom wheels matching derby covers and a lot of chrome even keep it in the A/C get caught in the rain It would take about 8 hrs to really clean the bike. (Do not like pits in the chrome) Have anew Rd glide Ride it, S100 it, blow dryit takes about an hr even with waxing Soo much nicer get to ride a lotmore instead of cleaning all that chrome .

Lately, I've been getting tired of it . Keep looking for black stuff to tone it down some. Just replaced the mirrorsand would like to get rid of all the chrome on the dash of my Road Glide

The sun hits chrome at certain angles and can be really annoying if you are on the road for a while.
Now there's the voice of reason!

In answer to the original question.... Some might say that any chrome is too much. [8D]

I am addicted to Chrome, it started out on my Sportster and now spilled over the my 07 Road Glide. I have found
it necessary to enroll myself in the Betty Ford Chrome Clinic. Hopefully this will help end my addiction once and for all!

thats too much in my opinion...

When it stops complimenting what you started with.

You can never have too much money, chrome or horsepower.

Who says diamonds are a girls best friend. Chrome for her Harley goes a long way. Just isn't any cheaper and I still have to clean it.
