Don't paint, powdercoat. Paint will chip, powdercoat won't. You can get most of your money back on the chrome stuff.

Chrome won't get you home, but black will get you back.

I would leave it chrome, but that is just me. For my taste, I like the total blacked-out look, but otherwise I like to see some glimmer.

Black is the only color that is matched to the frame like a CVO there all color matched... ( I think)

Guess Harley will start getting more for a black bike now!

Black is OK, but lets keep the chrome stuff CHROME...

I say color match the crash bars, so they will blend with the bike color and give an Ultra a Street glide appearance.

Why listen to anyone else, do what you want. It's your bike.
