Default Black or Silver Cables for my Up coming Ape install

So I am getting ready to put on some Black 14" Apes. Not sure what one's I am getting yet. I would like some opinions on what would look best. Black or Silver cables. As you can see from my sig pic I have a mix of black and silver on the bike. I don't plan on blacking out any more on the bike except the handlebars. So guys fire away. Help me out here.

Black cables would blend in better with black bars. I pieced together my cables cause no one makes a kit with all black cables. All the kits I could find had silver ends.

i went with black, love how the blend into the black bars..

imo, silver look relly cool. but, the length has to be perfect. since they stand out more...if you are a little short or long it will be more noticable.

It depends on if you want them to contrast or blend in. Know that the black pearl by magnum are a dark gray with black chrome on teh ends. Stealth by Barnett are a bit darker.

Well then Black it is. Going with Magnum shielding cables and Namz wire extensions. I like the silver/chrome ends of the cables, they will go well with the contrast of everything else.
Thanks

I think black is the right choice. I have silver cables on my WG and they stand out even with the significant amount of chrome I have. Black would definitely blend in better with your ride.

Have fun with the ape install! Mine was a PIA for sure!
