Definitely chrome!! but it will keep you busy polishing!! but I must be old school because when I see things painted that could be chrome it makes me think to back in the day when a stripped down economy model truck always came with painted bumpers instead of chrome!!

I've always liked liked chrome. I really like the enforcer wheels and even installed them on my 12 streetglide. Chroming them would just be that much over better. Don't forget to have the rotors polished too ! And chrome bolts for the rotors also. Now maybe chrome the calipers. Then the lower sliders. Gets out of hand quickly, doesn't it.

"What's wrong with chrome?"
Well, it can rust.
It's labor intensive to keep up.
It doesn't like salt air/water, or fog.
The EPA has just about regulated the chroming process out of the United States.

Now, what's right with chrome?

Well, it looks great when it's new.

It responds to polish well.

Did I mention it looks great too?
