Harley riders aren't the only group that ever cared about "looks", I guarentee you that. There's many other bike co's who make chrome add ons for their bikes. I've owned Goldwing's and they have bling for them too, although I'll concede Harley's have a dispropotionate amount to pick from.
IMO,a chrome oil filter is no more "Gay" than buying chrome parts for a car engine. Who really needs chrome valve covers for a V8?
I don't buy Harley filters, I buy whatever I can get at Napa, in black. It's not only because they're cheaper, but also because Harley seems to have forgotton they ever built a Shovelhead. They either don't carry parts for 'em, or can't even get them anymore.
But if a guy wants a chrome filter, or a chrome whatever, I say whatever floats his boat! He's happy, and it doesn't effect me.
Well, unless the filter's $15, then he's not happy.
