Chrome PS with turnout ends would look slick. Haven't seen a set taped yet. They are loud but sound good.Got a friend looking for those Big R's. How much you want for them scraped up pipes?

I like the slash cut, black or chrome would look great, it just depends on how much black you want... as mentioned before if ya scrape the black ones, they're easy to fix

Black Flush or the black tape with the chrome mufflers.
That's just my opinion, I could be wrong...

Out of the three, I would have to go with the black turnouts. So you're going to get chrome wheels front and rear?

I think I'm going with the Black Turnouts. I think it will be pretty unique. I really like the idea of the taped chrome, I'm just concerned I'd only like it when it's new and black and not after it gets tattered and faded. I'll post pics after I get them on. Also ordered a LePera Barebones Gel saddle. Since the wife won't ride with me anymore.

BackAgain, I'll let you know about those Big Radius if your friend is interested. They only have about 1500 mi on them and the scratch isn't too bad. I have detailed pics of the damage if you want to send me a PM I'll let you know what I'm asking.

Thanks everyone for all your input

IMHO I think Trains look best with as little chrome as possible.
