I'm pretty sure chrome is the new chrome and black is the new black.

I did the blacked out bike thing back in 2000, back then you didn't see them everywhere and it was kind of cool. Not so much today!

i for one, can't afford to change out chrome for black, or to follow current popular trends. i've added the amount of chrome on my black streetglide that i wanted, and i like it. trends come and they go, style and cool factor, are timeless. one more thing about a blacked out bike that i'm curious about, LEOHD, how in the world do you find your bike when it's dark outside? laffin, thinking about you having to carry a flashlight around so you can find your bike. i like the look though, was just teasing you leo. looks sharp.

Jim, thanks for the compliment, to find it in the dark I just leave the ignition, on accesories switch and the led's are easy to spot. what I'm wondering is how you can find a chrome street glide at a rally
