    Know that black bars scratch easy and then look bad.

    If you had 55 year old plus eyes you'd need backlit buttons on the black controls!

    I think all black or all chrome would look good. But whatever floats your boat . . . .

    I think what I am going to do is take black tape and wrap it around my bars so I can get an idea of how it will look. At least that will not cost me anything..:D

    JB - Do what you want, it is your ride. If everyone customized according to consensus, all bikes would look alike - :puke: - except mine, 'cuz I ain't ever going with consensus!

    Just be sure what you want, unless you can poop gold!:roflmao:

    :cheers:

    I agree my friend. I was thinking about getting the yaffe monkey bars but there are way too many of them out there. If I like how the black tape looks, I think that I just may take these apes off and powdercoat them. :cool:

    So why ask for opinions when he is going to do it his own way, stupid don't make any sense. Are we supposed to approve of it or something, geesh :rolleyes:

    If he really cared about opinions is one thing but to many times he comes back and says he is going to do it his way, so don't matter.:banghead:

    Ya know why Blackd out chrome got popular ?
    Cause you ain't got to wax it.

    It's yer ride, do it the way you want. But when you git it there, hope you like what you got.
    I like chrome myself. Guess I'm Old School.

    Don't mine polishin it up either.
