I'd vote chrome! You've got chrome lowerer on the suspension system and a chrome luggage rack in the back. It just rounds out the look, IMO!

I'd say chrome also (although I'm more a blacked out fan). I have a solid black 5" windshield, and have blacked out the front end (including the engine guard, and will put the powdercoated light bar/turn signals back on soon). I am thinking about putting a chrome trim on like you did to break it up a little; I like a little bit of chrome to make the black stand out more.

like the black, to me the chrome sticks out like a sore thumb on top of the fairing. the black makes the winsheild look more integrated into the fairing
