Was thinking hard about putting on fatcats this winter, but now I'm thunking about the new lo cats. Anyone put these, in black, on a blue fatboy? Would it look good, or should I stick to chrome? I do like some chrome, but not alot. I would hate to put the black on and look bad. Any pics?

I think if you intend to black out other parts of the bike, black would look good. If not, I'd go with chrome....

On your bike I like chrome far better.

Go chrome. You will have less chrome with a 2n1 compared to your dual shot gun pipes.

If you had a Lo, I'd say black for sure but it would look strange slapping a black pipe on with all that hot chrome. Just my $0.02

You need chrome on that beautiful Blue Fattie!
Nice choice (ok maybe I'm a bit biased)
