Is there such a thing as to much chrome or is it a matter of money?

It seems that everytime I go to H-D there is chrome in the bag... When is enough, enough??

RE: To much chrome?
When you need to bore or stroke the motor further just to haul all the extra weight, then you might be reaching the limit. But thats only 'might' not definetely.
