Default Chrome Engine Trim pieces- Whatcha got???!!!

I want to add some chrome engine trim pieces. I have an idea of the pieces of what I want to add but would love to see what others have.
If you have close up pics of your engine that would be great- Post 'em up- or any pics of your engines for that matter

Some really really nice trim work with chrome and some awesome rides. But I like the black murdered out look on my ride.

There's proof that anything can be overdone. Not knocking it, but that's too much for me. I don't know why, but the chrome 'covers' that are just chrome plated tin to just add shine over the engine don't appeal to me. My engine is silver (Se ultra) and I like a balance of engine color and chrome. Even more so with a black engine/tranny. If it is a replacement chrome part, cool, if it just 'covers up' the engine, it's senseless to me. Jmo....

You brought up a good point...Chrome covers also hold heat in making your bike run hotter. I think a chrome part is way more valuable and appealing than a chrome cover

The chrome frame covers by the goose neck I would like to buy and have painted pearl white to match my bike
