Black parts longevity (Black Chrome)
I'm looking at a Whiskey Fire Road Glide. Initially wanted the chrome package as I have always been a chrome guy. After looking at the same bike with the black package, it has really grown on me (except for the $1500 price increase). I have had pieces on my bikes before that were powder coated gloss black. They all held up fairly well but did scratch. What are you guys finding that have bikes with the black option as far a scratching, holding up etc? This goes for 24's as well as earlier. I know the forks take a hit as several friends have commented on chipping. Forks for me aren't a factor as I always run chrome forks and cow bells as I like the look and contrast.
Thanks,

Same, went with blacked out stuff on my last two bikes, and now that I'm back on a black/chrome bike it just feels RIGHT...

A buddy has the heritage the Red / Blacked out one - was gorgeous new & as time went on the forks, rims and other parts just showed the swirl marks. the rims after a tire change really showed it right at the bead the color or coating must be thin cause I have seen others with the Black rims & they all show wear at this area. Ill stick with chrome - But I do like the blacked out look on certain colors.
