I really want to put a chrome one on mine, but I got to figuring if I had a chrome swingarm I would have to get a chrome caliper and then the chrome caliper bracket. The chrome foot peg mounts. And then figured the front calipers would need to be chromed because they would look out of place, so getting a chrome swingarm added up to a couple of grand quick.

When I first got the bike I really wanted to put on the chrome swingarm, but now I'm happy I left it black. Have to say though that the pics of the bikes on this thread with the chrome swingarms look awesome!
