Chrome or black Carlini's
 
Not a lot of chrome on my bike but its not totally blacked out. Thinking about changing out my bars to Carlini's.Cant decide if I want chrome to go with my pipes and front end or black to go with the other black parts. Controls, grips and mirrors are black. Cables are black with chrome ends. The only change since the pics are rotors with black centers. What do you guys think?

I agree with above.

I don't think you can go wrong either way, but I'd go for the chrome.

Red to match your spark plug wires :D

Haha. I went with black bars because I was hell bent on blacking the bike out...but it's a Harley, got to have some chrome. I have an old set of generic apes I thought about painting big blue pearl just to see what it looked like. Might paint them red...not.

Color matching them blue would really stand out. I don't think you could go wrong either way.

Check out an outfit called Chilhowee in the state of Oregon. Makes leather covers for your handlebars to order. Can order different colored lacing, although covers themselves are black. Reasonable prices. Fast delivery.

I think chrome that was rubbed down with scotch bright. Kind of look like your lowers.

Chrome is going to look way out of place on that bike. Exhaust and front end you can get away with it but something about the bars being chrome is throwing me off.
