Default Breakout rear fender rails

I have a 2013 Breakout and love the bike except for the rear fender rails. They're polished aluminum which doesn't look right with all the chrome, it just never seems to shine right!! Does anyone know if there are aftermarket chrome ones or if maybe the CVOs are chrome and I can by a set of them?? Any help or ideas are appreciated!!

You can send them out to have them chromed. I believe the 2014 and up versions are chrome and can confirm that the CVO version definitely is chrome.

Thanks!!! I will order the CVO rails. They are actually less expensive than the polished aluminum stock ones, they must be chromed steel I guess

Mother's Billet Polish or Simichrome will make it look like chrome (I use both depending on the part and the grain of the billet, and Simichrome is the best thing I've ever found for chrome). I have a Big Dog chopper that's half chrome and half polished parts, and they all flow nicely. But sure, getting the chromed part will take care of the issue permanently

PS you can tell I got tired of cleaning a chromed and polished bike, my Breakout is getting more blacked out as I go along with upgrading things.

Example: For reference, the pipes are triple chrome plated. Motor, triples and forks are polished. Headlight is chrome. Ignition nose cone is chrome, fender rear rails are polished. Wheels are polished, forward controls are polished.
