I have to agree with monkyman. Is exactly why I went with chrome on my ride. Easier to clean the bugs off also.

I like the chrome on your bike since you already have chrome. I would put black on my bike, but I haven't found a nice one.

I went with the chrome, but I've got a white/pewter bike. With your colors I might have gone with black.

I voted black but anything would be better than that rounded HD one you have now. No offense but that on looks like something off a conversion van.

TRUE! But the one you have looks like it came off a truckers mudflap!

I say chrome - ties together with your front end. Black will blend.
I have to say something "needs" to go there, it looks like HD left a part off on the assembly line without it.

Depends on your bike color. Chrome looks great on anything, but for me I went black on my trim...

It gets more attention than anything. Also I powder coated the chrome mirror covers too..
