Question Apes: Black or chrome?
Just need opinions or even pics.

09 SG Dark Blue pearl. Stock inner fairing. Do not plan on changing controls or grips but may change levers if I go with black.

No other blacked out parts and don't plan on adding any others.

Whaddaya think??

I have rule-->chrome unless you have blacked out forks.

So......Chrome is my final answer.
