Default Thinking about chroming out front end on Denim Black SG....Advice or Pics Please

I am thinking about chroming out my trees, rotors and front and back wheel on my bike. I haven't seen a Denim Black SG with chromed out front ends or wheels. I initially wanted to black it out but felt it would be too black. I think the chrome would add a good balance and help make the front end pop. Does anyone have any photos of a Denim Black bike with chrome? Feel free to let me know your thoughts on my idea........I'm cool with people being opposed. I'm looking for opinions. Below is a photo of my bike.

I haven't seen a Denim Black SG with chromed out front ends or wheels. This could be a good thing, everyone wants to make it their own. I can not believe that someone out there has not done this yet. so wait a day or two the pics should start coming in.

I don't know how it couldn't look good. I would likely do the cans in denim to keep the chrome down low.

I agree. I can't find one online anywhere. Hoping some start showing up on here!

On a bike that is already all blacked out I'd go gloss black on the lowers and fork tins. Just my .02.

This is just my opinion but to me the denim black with black crash bars doesn't look right with chrome forks. It's really distracting from the rest of the front end. I decided to go all denim on the front end and am planning to add chrome wheels. My crash bars are chrome and I feel they need to go black aswell.

Not to steal OP's thread, to answer they are the HD Aux lights and all bulbs are Daymaker. The turn signals are Custom Dynamics Dynamic Rings with Clear Lenses..
