In a year or two, chrome will be the new black. Guess that puts me ahead of my time!

AAaaarrrggghhh ... but the chrome looks so sexy... but the black looks so sexy too...

I guess the only reasonable solution is to get one of each

almost there ?...forget it...it never ends...fender tips...rear lite cover..front caliper cover...master cylinder trim...end caps too..driveshaft cover...side covers...neck covers...fork caps...triple tree cover,,,no... you've definitely started and it looks great but like I said...it never ends...just have to pace yourself...have a never ending secret stash and make sure you give it a womans name so your other half realizes that if you are not spending your last penny on her, at least its on the other woman in your life also bringing you happiness and pleasure she doesn't have to worry about. Ride safe and enjoy.

You're right of course DC. "Almost there" referred just to this year as I added the triple tree cover, custom risers, harley fork reflectors, master cylinder and caliper chrome trim, spike air cleaner, speedo. It truly doesn't end - now I'm sourcing custom tail lights, turn signals and seriously considering custom paint. I just keep telling my wife that its cheaper than a car. I also had to promise to leave the Goldwing stock. So far, so good.
