Default Ape Question

I am looking to put some carlini 16" hangers on my 2013 street bob, my bike is more chrom than murdered out, so what would look better, black bars or chrome?

Having a hard time visualizing.

chrome would look better on your bike as it sits.

Go chrome, their is too much black going on around here, myself included haha, I wish I woulda done a little more chrome. Especially with that paint job, go 16 inch chrome Z bars like these http://www.phantomkustom.com/images/...bar/250754.jpg

If it were me, I'd go black bars with a few more black accents. I believe your bike with a balance of chrome and black would be sick. Love the paint.

Default Chrome or Black

I got a '07 SB and thankfully mine is a nice mix, more to the black side, so it was easy to just carry on with the black. I put the Carlini Pist Apes on mine, 17" with the HD stock 1" riser.

Here is a pic, give ya something to go by. Lemme tell ya though, I was between the RSD and these, I am happy I went with them. Took MUCH deliberation tho! In person they look SICK! I love them, but like others, I am bias! lol

I appolgise for the darkness of the photo, I am not finished the project and I am out of town away from my iron horse to get ya a better pic! But I will be posting pics of my ride with the additions I have completed when I get home. I got lots of powder coating to do this winter
