Default Need some help deciding

I'm thinking small ape hangers for our next mod,
I think, they should be black, match the sissy bar and general scheme of the bike, plus you don't see them as much as chrome, and thats a plus to me.

Wife, thinks chrome is the way to go, because the forks are chrome and the black bars might clash, and they will be more scratch resistant, and she just thinks they will look better

Look at my bike, what does the Dyna Crew think ???

Go Black. Harley makes the mini apes in chrome , stainless or black. Look up the stock nightster bars.

With your set up I would do black bars with chrome levers. That way you can get the contrast up top and compliment the pipes, rocker box covers, batter box strip etc......And I think WG's ALL need apes
