Yeah, too bad I threw my stock pipes in the garbage...I could've had "nice" pipes like your's. I don't like "nice" pipes though

not having a gloss black bike, I think black pipes will look best.

+1 (especially on the silver motor part)

on the denim go with black...as long as you get your heavy breather blacked out as well so they compliment each other. if you are leaving the breather chrome, go with chrome pipes, otherwise it will look piece-mealed together.

id say go with the chrome, because I'm bias and have them on mine with the heavy breather. The contrast is great. I dont plan on blacking out the whole bike, I like a decent mix of black and chrome.
