Default Replaced chrome speedo/tach housing
My brother and his family came by last night, and he and I snuck off to the garage and swapped out the chrome speedo/tach housing and tank panel for some newly gloss black powder coated parts. Joe, the Powder Pro did the powder and they look awesome. (I apologize for the quality of the pics).

I posted some befoe and after pics. So, what's the verdict, chrome or black?

I like the black. Looks like it matches the tank pretty well.

The Black looks much better on there than Chrome....It makes for a nice change and as stated earlier it matches well with the tank.......

Thanks for the comments. Pictures don't do it justice, looks much better in person. I'm sticking with black.
