Needs HERD's input

After reading this thread
Crash Bars, keep em or dump em?
I've decided to install one on my fatboy.

I'm not sure what color would perfectly match my bike... Shall I go with black, or chrome?

My vote: Chrome.

Not enough black to make it "blend" on the entire bike. Not a "black" theme goin on there....

I advocate crashbars for many reasons. One, because I like the look, and two, because they save alot of other things from being damaged, at the cost of $200-300 tops.

AND....you can hang highway pegs from them, or auxilary lights.
