Just enough chrome and silver. I think if it was all black it would be too much. Great, now there's something else I want to do and can't afford. Women and cats will do as they please. Men and dogs should just get used to that fact and relax

I like the shiny trees against the black forks. I've just always been a fan of the black headlight bucket with the chrome ring. Nice contrast.
