With chrome struts I'd prefer chrome sissy as well but thats me. It wouldn't look bad black either though.
Good choice with black and chrome its the best combo (thats fact not opinion lmao)

Long time ago I had the Black Quick detach on the Chrome struts
It looked OK and will look good on yours

I personally try for the holy grail of contrast. It's all about finding that perfect balance between black/powder coat and chrome. If you hate it you can have the struts powder costed or the sissy bar sent off for chrome
