I like them both, but chrome wins my vote.

Chrome.
Unless you have plans to start blacking out some of the other chrome already on your bike.

I voted Black, but I do like the contrast of both together. In the picture I personally think the black pipes look better on it. Black is easier to keep clean as well. Either way you decide you cant go wrong. Oh and the guys that keep saying black is just a fad are just jealous they didnt get a black bike! Wow the fad has been around a long time! Seems like more bikes are getting blacker on the show room floors! haha lmao at these chrome guys comments!

Black unless you plan on changing the wheels. The Lo has to much polished alum for chrome:P But either way it will look good....I just personaly prefer black for Los.

Assuming that your bike is the black one in your sig pic, and not the orange one that you posted modeling the exhausts, I think you've gotta go black.

If by chance you also have an orange lo, and are getting pipes for it, than the chrome ones go nice with the orange

I like the contrast. Maybe my sig pic will give you a better idea of how the chrome looks. I really think it depends which direction you want to go with the bike in the future but the pipes can dictate that because they are so noticeable.
