Default Need some advice guys on bar colors
Been saving for the past year and now have enough money to put 16 inch apes on my 2010 Street Bob. Also changing out the headlight. I got a great deal but what should I go with chrome bars like the OE or matt black to match the Denim black of my 'bike?

Seems a stupid question to ask - and yeah I should go with what I like as it's my 'bike - but I see so many of the great 'bikes on this forum and just wanted some opinions from people who have more experience than I have.

Any advice, comments. Thanks for taking the time to read.

I like black - I have gloss black myself, but go with what you think will look best Also it depends if you are going to keep the front end chrome... I have 16" 1 1/4 on my Bob - take a look and maybe it'll help you decide

I think black also. Just to break up some of the chrome/polished aluminum. I like black. It's the new black.

If you choose black, choose gloss black.

I'm really pleased with the satin black of my Wild-1 Chubby bars. Matches the Harley black controls and levers nicely.
