Bodgie, thx for posting this again in a separate thread

Are you asking for your scoot in the pics or for the Breakout model in general? As posted before I think for the BO in the pics above I'd say black fork legs and black trees. Balances the black and chrome aspect best, IMO.

On my bike I like the chromed fork legs and polished trees best, though. It always depends on the overall chrome and paint mixture as well as the specific paint scheme used on the bike.

Yeah on my scoot above ..dont wana kill the balance..is yours black eagleray ?

the chrome lowers makes the rake stand out more but against the chome rims it maybe too much chrome hence the blacked out trees with chrome lowers

the black trees and black lowers maybe too much black

Mine started off as black one with the stock black fork legs. After I got my custom paint done I got caught by the chrome side....

Kool Paint ..the chrome tubes suits the paint cause of the red where as with mine the chrome tubes and trees seem like an eye full of chrome..thinking to go the black trees and chrome tubes for something different as ive not seen any bo with this combo locally and the black/black is too black kinda kills the rake

I dunno... almost looks like an old guy with black knee socks under his shorts?

I vote Chrome all the way.... Even though my Slim is blacked out and I honestly have fallen in love with the no chrome look.

I vote black trees, black lowers. Prefer the contrast. It's like making sure the carpet matches the drapes.
