If you asked my brother in law what his favorite color is, he would admittedly say, "chrome!". LoL
Me, not so much. I'm not against it, but I hear what you're saying about having to wear welding goggles to look at your bike in the sunlight. One of the things that endeared me to my 2006 Road King was it had a nice blend of chrome bits and black accents.
Funny story: Right after I purchased the bike, several people mentioned that I could sell the black crash bars and get chrome ones. THAT's one of the reasons I liked the bike!!!!! LoL.
I have since added a few more blackened bits to the bike and I'm now trying to figure out where that line is between going too far one way or the other. I don't want a murdered-out vehicle, and my sensitive eyes can't handle a bike dipped in chrome. Somewhere, there can be a happy medium. I'm going to try and creep up to that point slowly.
As many have said, "make it yours." It'll be perfect.
