If you plan on eventually chroming your lower legs, I would go with chrome bars. If you plan to powder coat them (I did), then I would go with black bars (I did).
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.

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.
Look like Wild1 Chubbies in a 14in if you ask me. I have the same bars on my SG

I am slowly blacking mine out but I think imma keep some chrome too if I don't get tired of cleaning what I do keep chrome. Hate spending more time cleaning something then it spends staying clean.
