Default Need new bars

Ok I could be opening a pandora's box here but here goes, I have street sweepers on it now and have looked before but now know more of what I want now. I am looking for a 12'' to 14" ape something like a Carlini Evil Ape http://www.carlinidesign.com/handleb...s/evil-ape.php
I looked at BR too. Now for part two, black or chrome?

Black would look perfect on your bike.

I think chrome on your ride. But black wouldn't look bad at all.

I think chrome would continue the front "line" created by the forks and trees on your bike.

Iwas thinking chrome too but was looking at a gloss black but will stick with chrome. Now I just need to decide between Carlini's, B&R or La choppers. I about to go dizzy flipping back and forth between the websites
