Default Help me decide - Rocker Covers (black or chrome)

I think the chrome helps showcase the motor. The silver contrast looks good on your bike. On the other hand, chrome's a pain in the a$$ to keep polished.

Nice ride either way!

I just installed chrome on my FXD, which had the same rocker covers as yours.

You have a great looking Dyna. I think a splash of chrome would highlight the motor and make it stand out between the black. My 2 cents...

I got a set of used chrome off ebay. Was going to have them powder coated black till I got them and cleaned them up. They have a few scratches but they are under the tank so I just used them and realy like them.

Chrome for sure....it would accent the other small bits of chrome you already have. Especially since you have chrome on your rims. I think black would be too much in your case. Chrome is not hard to take care of or clean.
