I guess chrome side covers would be a little over the top! crazy2

Also, why does it say Ferrari on the tank? ???

I think it would have looked better with chrome side covers and black tank.  That chrome tank looks kinda disgusting to me.

Man, that thing would be blinding in our high altitude sunlight!  My Valk came with a large chrome aftermarket handlebar riser cover and when the sun hits it just right, it is painfully blinding when riding.

A lot of work went into that bike but not my cup of tea.  Check out his u-tube video in the Q&A section, it does a light show also.

If the tank is going to be chrome, then the side covers and bags need to be too. The leatherlyke bags look odd on that bike particularly because of the contrast to the shiny. Surely shiny grey vinyl seats were available to replace the black. Might as well commit or be committed.

I used to think you could never have enough chrome, I have since changed my thoughts, but it appears a good deal of time & $ invested.

actually doesn't look that bad, can you imagine the time it would take to keep it shiny?
