Chrome...again?

Chrome...again?
I just purchased a 2007 Softail Custom, black cherry in colour, with 1200 miles. It is all stock, except for some Screaming Eagle slip-ons (might as well be stock) and leather saddle bags. In one of the saddle bags was included a Screaming Eagle Pro Tuner. Odd. Not installed, and it still came with! Very nice.
Anyway, after having my Bones, I thought I'd never own a chromed out bike ever again. Well, lo and behold, it came to pass that a chrome bike came to be in my possession once again. Now, I must ask. When I start customizing this bike, should I continue on with the chrome trend, or start blacking it out bit by bit? I have some brass parts laying around, and brass goes excellent with black. Not so much with chrome. My main hesitancy with going black is that it will look odd and mismatched for a while until other pieces start to catch up with the overall look.
So, keep going Chrome or start blacking it out?
