Both look good, I prefer black, but have never been much of a fan of chrome.

To me, you have a nice mix of black-n-chrome going on already.
Forks, bars, engine (technically not chrome, but you know what I'm saying) The 2 tone exhaust is a natural fit to these eyes.

I would go with either, they both look good. I give the nod to the black though

The Chrome looks well. Unless you add more black (Powder coat the triple trees or something) the Chrome balances it out! MY OPINION!

Imop!
My thoughts exactly.
I am a fan of chrome, but will keep a balance of black and chrome on mine. It's yours, so Rock the Chrome if you like it!
