Default Chrome or black? You Decide...
So today i learned that for my birthday in June my wife was going to have my flhp painted for me. So needless to say i needed to decide a color choice. So i've decide to go with a matte navy blue with orange and silver pinstripes. So now what do i do with accessories as I'll be adding them prior to the paint job? Black or chrome let me know!

I'm thinking you gotta have a preference already. Follow that preference.

A dark color like Navy will look way better with chrome.
