I mixed a little of both,chrome and black.
powder coated the accessory and turn light buckets and frame but left the rings chrome, and powder coated the forks, axle spacers and engine guard

I like a mix of black and blue, always have. Changing the exhaust shields to black made a significant difference. I want to black out some more, such as the front end, engine/bag guards, air/timing covers and black rocker boxes with a blue accent line. Hardest thing so far for me to find is a black turbine type air cleaner with a blue filter. I don't want a red filter, lol.

Dig your bike man
I be weird as hell but I like the finish of tghe front wheel to match the finish of the fork lowers both move with the bike. Like I said i am odd.
I have chrome cowbells and lowers but just have not had the desire to install them.If I do the chrome cowbells will be covered with black wrap.

That's one of the nicest I've seen, just the right mix imo

I like my bike. It’s not black but has some on it and just enough chrome so it’s not a *****.
Speaking of ****** and the the title of this post,I wish I had my second girlfriend back but she’s probably since been well worn out. Thanks for the memories Gina!
