Default Night Train Black or Chrome?
Getting close to deciding on my new bike and there is a nice 09 Night Train I am looking at.
If I go for it I am trying to decide on Black wheels with black exhaust or two tone wheels (RC Custom)accented by Chrome exhaust. Torn between both looks.

Thoughts based on what you have seen?

I would go to the Night Train picture thread, in the Softail Pic's section.

I like two tone rims and a black exhaust, on a black Night Train. Other colors might do better with more chrome.

It's your decision, but personally, I think the RC Components wheels are THE best. I have their Czar Eclipse rotors on my NT, and plan to get the matching wheels at some point.

I like 2 tone wheels/black exhaust. For a black train. I think a "colored" Train opens up the window a little more. Then I'd go 2 tone/chrome exhaust.

I personally like the 2 tone look. And black exhaust. Lots of black with chrome highlights everywhere looks good. The black engine, primary cover etc really looks good with chrome hot toppers on all the bolts, screws etc
