Default I need help deciding on whether to go chrome or black??

I'm having a hard time deciding if I want to go with chrome or black accessories on my sedona orange SG. The bike has a few little chrome things added to it but nothing major. I was talking to my Dad about it and he says a Harley is suppose to have chrome not black. Dad has a chromed out '10 black SG. I wanted to see what you guys thoughts?

I have an 2012 Ember Red Sunglo and I'm having the same dilemma. I think the chrome is more timeless but the contrast is more what I want

Depending on what and where you're lucky, you can mix it up on your bike and it will look good.

I would go black. But do what the voices in your head are telling you to do.

Depends on what you like, both look good. If you can't decide, go contrast, that way you will have both and can add parts either color.

As a Sedona Orange owner, I recommend a mix of black and chrome. I blacked out my front end, added a Black LED, and a few other black accessories. Stayed chrome with the pipe and breather because too much black would have caused my OL to refer to it as the Great Pumpkin around Halloween......IMO, all chrome or all black would be too much but I do think the black front end looks better than chrome on this particular color.
