Damn you guys! I need to squash my recent spending spree! I've been a little out of control the last month or two, but it sure would be nice to have LED's ALL the way around now. You guys suck!

OP . . . I like chrome . . . but dayum the black looks real nice. It's not so obvious on your bike in my opinion, you can go either way given the two color paint. Though, I think the black would be a sharp contrast to the white that surrounds the headlight.

I've got chrome all over, and I don't think I have a dark, or light colored bike, it's just bright! I suspect I'd have the same issue, I'd fret over the color and get too worried about making the 'right' choice. I don't t hink my dealer has either one on display, so I can't go in an look. I may have to go on a hunt to see them in person. Did I already say damn you guys?!

You could go with either black or chrome on yours Mike. But IMO I would prolly go with chrome if I were you.

If you have chrome accents, chrome light. If you're gonna black it out - black light.
