Talking Another Advice Question..Forgive Me

Alright, being new to the bike world and all, I know I'm posting a lot of personal preference questions, bare with me.....

I was looking at Hot Toppers for my cross bones. If I were to order them, who would favor black and who would favor chrome???

Black would be nice if my while bike was blacked out but being that I have stock exhaust and such, would chrome look more flush??? Or, are hot toppers just a pain in the rear to begin with?

Some like all black and some like mixture of both. kinda like women. blonde, redhead, other..
Sounds like you dont have your theme picked yet.!! it might help you when getting ready to add on other pieces.
Until you do, it going to be the same thing making a decision on every piece you add on!!!!!!
