I disagree.  I think it's a work of art. 

I'd ride it in a heartbeat.   :cooldude:

There is a totally chrome Rune that I have seen a couple times at Daytona Bikeweek & Biketoberfest. I saw him riding down Main St. while I was upstairs at one of the bars without the camera.

A few years ago in the bike show at J&P Cycles Open House, there was a Sportster that was all chrome.  Everything metallic was chrome plated.  All I could think was how hard it would be to keep that bike clean.   :D

I like chrome, but that is a bit much.  :coolsmiley:

Had a saying where i grew up. If it don't go-chrome it.  :2funny: RIDE SAFE.

   That took some time and money and patience...the part that would stink would be to chip the paint or chrome.   ???

A real M/C will get chips, dents, scratches, bug guts, etc. If not then it's a "Garage Queen".

It's a Shovelhead and putting thousands in chrome,.....well it's still a Shovelhead with all the antique technology and problems that come with them.

Remember HD replaced that motor with the EVO. I'd rather ride a dirty old Valk anyday. JMHO
