Default BLACK or CHROME front end?

What would YOU choose on a BLACK Glide? I find it tough to pick between them! The chrome headlight trim ring is sharp on both.

Black -- on your bike - everyone can have the chrome look and get away with it - - not everyone can get away with the black as much as you can! Looks Great!

On the Black Glide I think the black is the only choice. I just put it on mine and it looks amazing. I think the Chrome wheels are a nice touch the make the black stand out even more.

I think the black front end draws your attention to that cool looking front chrome rim.
But that might be just because of the missing rotor.
