    Woah, too much polishing for me
    i struggle to keep my bike bike clean let alone the chrome polished.
    Its more fun riding it than cleaning it.

    stuff that you would spend more time cleaning than riding, you would have to polish that thing up every week for it to look good
    just read the name of the forum......HOGS and other crusiers

    That'd be real nasty to ride behind or towards on a sunny day- not to mention the fact you'd have shares in the polishing cloth and chrome polish industries

    While I make no secret of the fact I did chrome, and I have considered doing that to a bike... after looking at that there is no way I'd do it.

    I guess chrome as much engine and mechanical stuff as you can, leave the tank and fenders at the very least with some nice paint!

    Edit-

    Btw.. anyone else find it funny there is a little side reflector on that bike? Like uhhhh... flash a light at the bike and you'd see the sun... so whats the reflector for? lol
