My wife bought me the chrome daymakers all the way around. Man, what a great add. Wasnt cheap, she said she spent $1500. I was shocked as I have never even priced them. Got heads, tails, turns, and ancillary lights. Installed all in 1 hour and couldnt wait until the midnight run.

I am not on a big beautiful touring bike like most of you guys but my little fat boy now looks like a freight train at night! Love them!!!

I have the chrome set. Black didn't look right to me.

Funny on the batwings I think the chrome look better. But on the RG I much prefer black. Which is what I went for.






Of course another thing to consider is the color of the bike. I have always preferred contrast so black on a light color and chrome on a dark color. In between could go either way.

I have the black one on the way for my black SG. Does it come with the small black trim ring?
