Why should Dyna be blackout completely?

I wanted a blacked out bike back ten years or so ago to be different, but now everyone has their bikes blacked out so I'm adding chrome. Not too much, not too little...
I really think you can overdo both, and in some cases overdoing it looks good, but mostly if you do a decent blend of both I think it looks really good.

I personnally like the blacked out look. Always have. I personally would have bought a Nightrain if HD had still made them or could have found a leftover in my area when I got my Wide Glide. The first thing I did to mine was black it out other than a few things here and there which will eventually get the blacked out treatment at some point. I had my motor mods done before I even put a tenth of a mile on it so it didn't cost me any more labor to put the blacked out rocker boxes and the like on. Other than the blacked out look I'd love to do my motor up in the black chrome look like on the Ultima engines you can get for me that is the ultimate look. Maybe some day just not anyone near me who does this and no really anyone around I've heard of that I'd absolutely trust 100% to do mine now. Don't wanna ship parts half way around the country and there be a flaw or something and have to fight to get it fixed. Thats my opinion on the blacked out look= The best look IMHO period.

The all black isn't for me either. I Luke some, but I think the black with a splash of chrome for contrast is better looking. I've gotten many compliments on my bike in the short time I've had it. End of the day, do ur bike the way you want it. That's why there are so many companies/parts that u caN customize with to make it ur own.

Everytime a thread like this comes up, it's always the "it's a fad" stuff. Around here, you'd be hard pressed to find more than a few blacked out bikes in the crowd. It's only a fad in our little hdforums world. It's funny how most of the younger guys think blacked out is normal (because most of us grew up liking that look) and the wiser guys think it's just a "fad."
That being said, I'm in the contrast crowd, whether it be chrome or some color, it helps break up all the black.

Lately I have ppl trying to convince me to black out my forks, trees and the rest of the bike. Why is that? Now I am curious, why should Dyna be blackout more than any other Harley models? Is Badass the only word to describe? I'd like to hear your side of the story if you happened to have one. No Chromed beauties here
Please don't beat me on this, general chatting and my curiosity.

The easiest thing to do at this point would be to use chrome bars and rear shocks, then everything will be tied together. Otherwise, go all black and don't look back!!!
