These were my bikes over the years. Started with chrome back in 2011 and now onto the black SGS. Black is way easier to maintain and clean from rides than chrome in my opinion. Still appreciate chrome on certain bikes though!

how does a bunch of people saying chrome, and a bunch of other people saying black, help you at all?
I don't understand people that ask opinions from strangers, or the people that respond.
I guess it's an attention thing.
Do it your way, post pics, but asking people to help you decide is pathetic.

As I mentioned more than once - I was curious to see a few pics to get an idea of how they looked against different color bikes. Something we all have done on various projects (dont tell me youve never asked for a recommendation on paint colors for a room, or asked someones opinion on a tool or benefit of one brand over another....)

Not only no discernible input to the topic at hand, but the only reason for the post was to bash another person for no discernible reason other than to be an a$$. Id call that a troll.

Ive never owned a motorcycle with as much chrome as Old Horse nor have I ever owned anything with whitewalls. While both are a pain in the *** to keep clean, compared to a blacked-out bike, the effort is worth it to me. Chrome is definitely old-school good looks, but it also never really goes out of style.

Chrome!!! They are starting to black our mini vans for Christ sake and really, its over done already. Chrome will be coming back in again soon. But do as you wish. Oh and I love how chrome parts are cheaper than black parts everywhere now lol makes me feel like Im getting a deal.
