I have the chrome but it was a tough decision for me because I like both. I plan on adding some more black but I wanted a balance so that's why I chose chrome but I think they both look for good.

Chrome. The black of the intake does not match the black as the rest of the bikes who have them.

The murdered out look is as overdone as chrome, so the usual is chrome OR black. Personally, I think a black bike, murdered out with chrome pipes looks the *****. That one bit sticks out and makes you say, WOW. IMO at least

My buddy sez, "Chrome won't get you home, but it'll get you laid". If that's the case, who wants to go home?!?!? (yeah, I voted "chrome")

the black one still has a few chrome pieces on it so it look pretty good once it's on. I have the black one with chrome pipes on my bike.

Wow, I have the same dilemma with my bike, and I think that this is the best response. I will probably go with chrome, but then I still have time before I buy to change my mind again (especially since I burned 3 holes in my leathers due to the sun reflecting of the chrome air cleaner I have on there now. I swear, the sun reflected off my air cleaner perfectly to make a small dot of sun on my pants burning a hole in it, I didn't notice until it had burned 3 holes and I began to smell burnt flesh and then saw my pants smoking. I would never have believed it). Anyway sorry to hijack the thread, just that I have been thinking the exact same thing for a few months regarding which filter to get.
