I'd chrome it. I wait about 2 hours after a ride, go back in the garage, put on the music, jack it up, grab a cool one, takes about an hour to wipe the bike down. In about that time with the right detailer, special surface sprays, the bike looks great and the chrome front end and wheels give a great appearance for about 30 minutes of TLC

Chrome it out...I did and swapped out the chrome gizmo beneath the headlight from a StreetGlide Special. Chrome on a Limited, painted on the SGS. Kinda unique for a limited and breaks up the chrome a bit. My chrome one was all peckered up from an attach with a gravel truck in Colorado anyway.
Factory painted and matched from HD from Surdyke $100. Got it in one week...
BTW, Progressive Monotube ROCK!

Would you happen to have that part number handy friend? I need the same one in Amber Whiskey. Thanks!

I had a chromed out softail for years and I hated trying to keep it clean, took forever after we moved and had hard water to contend with. Every wash had to be followed by Polish or it would spot like crazy. Going black on my RG, lots of wrinkle and gloss black. Washes with a sponge and no polishing, and saves an hour or more of extra cleaning.
