I you have to be like everyone else and get short shots then get the black. A few weeks ago I see 2 sporty within 1 mile that has shour shots LOL! So glad I went with Martin Bro's How about spend more and get the black side shots?

You pretty much have to make the call,yourself... I personally like a bit of chrome offsetting the black on my bike.I also fancied the shorts when i first saw them but now if i had to buy new pipes i go for the SE's again.
Good luck on your choice and its what rocks your boat that matters.

Why don't you take a picture of your bike and photoshop both on to it so you can see it for yourself.
My vote on a silver 48 would be chrome.

If you're going to stick w/V&H - then my suggestion is to go w/chrome. This way if you want to change later - find a ceramic coater & have them baked black. Also, if I still had a Sporty - recommend looking into Bassani pipes - look/sound awesome & don't see on every other scoot...good luck!
