I like a lot of chrome, within some parameters:
1 -It's gotta make the part look better than bare or stock
2 -It's gotta make sense. (That 100% chrome bike is crazy)
3 -It's gotta make the bike more interesting
I've got about 6 more chrome items to put on my bike, including chroming the swing arm, a chrome RC rear pulley, and polished stainless rear brake disc, then she's done. I'm doing those items because now they are highly visible with the stock exhaust removed.
Here is my bike as she sits now. The swingarm and the rest will be done right before everyone else turns their bikes in for the winter lay-up-

P.S. Blacked out bikes are doing the same thing whether you admit it or not.

Exactly, when I walk by a blacked out or dull coat paint job, I always say why would anyone do such a thing to a great looking bike?

I would just like to stand up and applaud you for getting the spelling of the word "too" correct in the title of your post. You might be an anomaly around here.......
