In general I would say it depends on the bike. Mine is a black betty so it has black pipes, my next harley will be a chrome *****, it will have chrome pipes.

In your case I like the chrome better.

I hit the wrong button. On your bike the chrome looks best.

I'm not trying to start anything here, but I'm just curious. Does age make a difference in your preference? Older guys prefer chrome, while younger guys prefer black????
