Default black or chrome?

I have a 2011 sedona orange street glide with chrome monster ovals. I'm going to get painted inner fairing, can't decide on black monkey bars or chrome. Also black lowers or chrome? I was also thinking about getting the crash bar powder coated. Any thoughts?

I like my mix. A little of each. Going to change the pipes this winter. Still going back and forth on black or chrome.

I love the looks of some blacked out bikes.

Having said that, I think nothing is more classic or beautiful than lots of chrome on a black tinned bike.

...And having said THAT, although Sedona Orange & Black do in fact look good, Sedona Orange and Chrome look GREAT.

Black. Nothing looks better on Sedona Orange than black. Sedona Orange may be the best color to compliment black in my opinion. Either way, enjoy your ride.

Chrome was my choice. I blacked out my last bike and after a couple years the black started to haze and showed stone chips and swirl marks like black paint. Plus I'm just sick of looking at blacked out bikes, that fad has passed for me.

That's my plan!
Of coarse my bike is vivid black.

I don't know if it would look as cool on an orange bike.


Why don't you pick up a cheap crash bar, and have it black powder coated?
then you'd have one of each. You could change them out whenever you want a change.
(a little harder to do with the handle bars though)

I don't really like the jack-o-lantern look of the orange bike with everything blacked out.
I say chrome on your bike.
