Default New exhaust on my Crossbones

Just completed the trifecta put on a set of Big Growl Up & Outs with an Arlen Ness Big Sucker Stage II and a Power Commander III.

I'm thinking of going black with the pipes and A/C cover. I'm going to give the chrome a chance. What do you think, black or chrome?

Here is how they sound, recorded with a camera not great quality. Much louder in person. No baffles.

It's looking good! Personally, I'd black the front half of the pipes or wrap them in black, but I'm undecided about the air cleaner. Perhaps need something to break up the chrome rather than go completely black.

Well done.

IMHO That's the nicest looking exhaust I've seen on a Crossbones yet.

I dig the exhaust it looks killer. Do half of the exhaust black. Either wrap em or paint em. Personally I like the black air cleaner cover but that is just me. Your bike looks good though.

Cool dude. Definitely black on the air cover. I like the exhaust chrome, but some black wrap would definitely add some contrast.

Those pipes are screaming for some black wrap man.. I think those pipes look best with heat wrap. I say go black with wrap, and leave the end chrome.
