As the title states, I cant decide between chrome or black. Im about to order some MX Tbars (wanna get ahead of the lead time, i bet its getting longer, but hopefully not) Im not 100% sure on exhaust either, but since its relevant, Im thinking chrome thunderheader.

Long and short, I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on the appearance route. I am also planning on running a rifle roadster 15" sometime in the near future as well.

I think I could go either way and it will look sharp, Im just torn on the chrome or black

Thanks in advance and look forward to seeing what yall think. Pics are always appreciated as well

 

chrome IMO, you have mostly chrome on your bike already.

But I say get a black battery cover once you have the chrome bars and pipe to give a better balance of black and chrome.

 

Yeah I know that cover has to go or I was thinking of painting the band with a gloss black

 

IMO you can never have too much Chrome.

 

Black is getting played out. Its the look of yesteryear.

 

I'd go chrome on the bars. They'll go nicely with your ride.

 

its all in the name! Black is a color...chrome is a mirror...you like lookin at yourself? magpies are attracted to shiny things

 

Why not both? Black the H/L bucket,trees,battery box,dump the highway bar...maybe black pipes.Lotsa chrome already,so just balance it out.The tins are black,so I think it would look good.

 

I agree that a balance is the best look. Check out this You Tube Video:

I think his balance of chrome and balck is perfect (IMHO)
Have Fun!

Agree I think balance is good. I went through the same exercise recently and ended up using black bars, mostly because my bike has more black with chrome accents. Since the fairing I was getting was black I thought black bars would be better to fade into and then keep the chrome turn signals and mirrors, along with chrome accented grips.

Since your bike is predominantly chrome I would do more black accents. I would do black bars but only if PC'ing the trees, otherwise keep em chrome!
