Lots of things can be chromed. What chrome do you have on your bike now? I am partial to chrome forks. I love the look. Handle bars... grips, floorboard upgrades. You can spend a fortune if you want too.

Ahhhh.....chrome....

I added chrome fender tips front and back on the lower edges, also the Luggage rack and front fender rail. I will be adding more as time goes by, but those I think made the quickest changes for the least amount.

Re:chrome 3 Years, 3 Months ago  
I like samlll amounts fo well placed chrome along with paint color of the bike and some black. Its hard to strike the right balance. I reember seeing a car Moon Equipment built years ago that everything in the engine compartment was chrome. You virtually couldn't tell what was what...too much chrome.

By the way once you start buying it its like being a junkie!

Re:chrome 3 Years, 3 Months ago  
chrome is like a tattoo once you getsome you seem to want more.

as far as the kury covers with the stickers,it looks good but when i took off the swingarm covers on mine there was alot of sand and stuff so i think if you ever have to replace or change your mind and go back to the paint its not going to clean up very good.

Yeah, a tattoo and one other thing...

I likes me some chrome (and that other thing)...

BTW, I've got a bunch going on Ebay by this weekend.

1. Chrome tins (uppers and lowers)
2. Chrome fender rack
3. Chrome switch housings
4. Polished upper clamp (top of the tree). Looks like chrome.
5. Chrome wheel covers (pie plates).

All in very near perfect condition.
