It started out "chrome won't get you home". I think it goes back to the 80's when all the 4x4 magazines featured insanely lifted trucks with dozens of chrome plated shocks and chrome drivetrain parts. These things were show trucks... pavement pounders, good for nothing but looking at. You'd be stuck or broke as soon as you pulled off the pavement. In the late 80'/early 90's the 4x4 rags shifted to "real" 4x4's.... trucks built to tackle the toughest trails and obstacles. It didn't matter how beat up and ugly it was, as long as it could survive the trail and still "get you home".

I have 12.5" Wild 1 Chubbys on my Heritage and I've always said its the best mod I've done to my bike (even above the Mustang seat with removable backrest which ranks real high!!! LOL) I say go with chrome unless you plan on powdercoating your exhaust, maybe lower forks, primary...things like that. You're gonna love the apes!!!
