Black or chrome exhaust on vivid black limited???
I'm upgrading my vivid (gloss) black 2015 FLHTKL with the Vance & Hines 30+ Horsepower Kit. Torn between black and chrome pipes.
Will flat black pipes look good on a gloss black bike? I like the thought of it being a littler easier to keep the black looking good and I love the blacked out look in general, but not sure how it will look with the gloss paint on the bike. I also love chrome, but thinking something different would be cool.
Anyone have advice? Ready to pull the trigger and get crackin!

Thanks.
It's about the same, just don't need the chrome polish for the exhaust. I like the black exhaust because I just wash it & it looks good. No blued pipes or mufflers to deal with.
I have it professionally detailed once a year & just use a spray detailer product to make it shine after washing. It gets done with Turtle Wax Black Box products designed special for black paint.

Someone with all chrome will post or look thru this pics you'll find one like yours with all chrome. In the end it will come down you personal preference.,
I'm a a chrome *****, but the black looks good also.
Personally, i think chrome does take a little care, but with a little attention they look better than the black over time, 2 or 3 years down the road. Some think chrome wheels take more work, they don't, they are easier to keep looking good than stock harley wheels and they look 1000 times better, remember i am a chrome lover.
This isn't a Limited, but it is a real nice black bike, a lot of nice black chrome mods as well:
