Default to black or not to black

I've been tossing around the ideal of blacking out my front end. does anyone have a red or other color bike not black that they blacked out the front. my only concern is that i already spent all the money to go chrome no to just throw it away and coat it all black,but i love the look.I dont want to much black (i say now i know its a sickness) just the front and maybe the pipes.

Leave it chrome.....scooter looks great......I don't think blacked out front ends look good on anything else but Black bikes.....maybe the matte finished colors not something like yours

I like chrome. I like black and chrome. I have a black FLHX and I put chrome on the front end. Black looks good to but I like chrome.Do what ever you think looks best.

I don't have a black bike and I blacked out my front end, but then it really kinda matches anyway

Black always looks great. Especially on a bike that is red or silver. I love the contrast.
