Default Opinions: Black or Chrome front end SG

I have a 2011 Street Glide. It's denim black, black pipes and mufflers, black bars (on their way).

I'm gonna do the front end next. I am leaning towards black but sometimes I like the look of chrome.

Does anyone have a denim black SG with a chrome front end that they are willing to share a pic of.

Do you think black front ends are "too much black"

I know its a matter of personal opinion but sometimes its nice to bounce ideas off this forum

Thanks

I like the black front end but my wife says I'm crazy.

Don't care for the primer black look but if I were you chrome would be the way to go.

If I had the denim black I would probably go with the chrome because the gloss black wont match your denim paint. Chrome matches everything!

How bout' Black Chrome? Then you would have the black and chrome...
but it might look a little out of contrast with the dull lookin'(no offense meant to anyone) denim..
You could photo shop it maybe and see?

I bought a new front end and powder coated it to match the denim black. The other thing I did, that I really like is I PC the chrome bag support bar.
