The handlebars should match the front forks.
All Chrome
All Black
All Painted

I just reread your post and see that you will have chrome lower legs. So my opinion stands.


Here are some pics of my bars on bike that is not totally blacked out.

Hey Shakey,

A lot of sweet looking rides. Thanks for all the input and pics. 50 Below and Texas Fat Boy have me leaning back towards the chrome since I am chroming the front end (parts already ordered). I am going to go ahead and order the chrome MBB's and hopefully they are in before my R&R from Afghanistan in July. Maybe I can send the black ones back and get a credit. If not I can easily sell them on here since I get a good deal on them.

I agree, bars should match the forks.

I'm going black and chrome. I think it's a great contrast.
