It really is WHAT YOU LIKE. It's your bike, you ride on it, you paid for it, you customize it.

BUT, IMO...Chrome.
I couldn't decide, which was why I was asking for opinions.

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
That's what I was thinking, but the problem I have with black is that while looking at it from the front it is the only black piece visible. From that point of view the chrome looks more integrated. I'm about 50:50 on my preference, and since painting it black requires work I'll probably leave it alone.

Now, what if I painted it Black Cherry, which would integrate perfectly with the fairing?

I always thought that chrome strip looked out of place there for some reason.
