I just want to match the rest of the bike actually, Someday I plan on blacking out the whole thing. I'm not a huge fan of the chrome look, I got a decent deal on the bike. It's done the way to the previous owners taste, someday when I have extra $$$ I'll make it my own. Right now its "just" trasportation.
I like the looks of the Nightster/train or whatever Harley calls it this year, or the Star Midnight Raider. Blacked out bikes with minimal chrome accents.
