Default forks

have an 06 SG and having hard time deciding between blk and chrome forks. I have blk rotors and wheels. but am concerned how the blk holds up compared to chrome. I do alot of riding and was wondering if pitting was more noticeable on the blk.

The black chrome front ends look great starting to see it more and more.

Why do you not spend the money on upgrading your suspension so it rides better while you are at it? If you can not afford both, decide if you like to ride it or look at it.
