Answer: ME!

I like the colored wires. For me, red was what I wanted. Nothing wrong with yellow or orange either. Although yellow doesn't get me excited.

I want something different and "understated" is kind of where I'm going with this post. Although, I don't think fat shiny chrome wires are quite as understated as those thin black stock ones.

Ditto! I like mine. There was a thread awhile back where people were going back to black because too many bikes were now sporting red and various other colors and they didn't feel special anymore - WTF? Going back to black is like everyone else!

Not sure about the fixation on red, you have no red on your bike. Definitely plain chrome, if you must. I guess I just prefer to not see wires at all.

That was the reason for the red. I do have some red, however, just very little and you don't see it.

Default Chrome

Chrome. I like the look of chrome. Here's a pic of my Wide Glide with the chrome wires and stainless braided cables.

Just postin' up pix of the wires installed, as requested. Pix don't really do them justice. I still like the red wires but I think these probably go more with my black and chrome bike.
