Got some chrome lower fork spikes, but I'm considering blacking them out as most everything else on the bike is black. But I kinda like the look of the chrome spikes. Can't decide, what do you think? ???

*EDIT: Have chrome upper AND lower fork spikes. Should I keep them chrome or black or any combination?

Do'h! This may totally invalidate the existing data.

If you want them to get noticed, I would go with chrome. When I see the black, they just blend in. It is up to you - blend or notice. :-\

I love them chrome !!!

I think they look better in black. The chrome looks out of place with all the plastics painted black.
I am biased though, I am not a fan of chrome. I paid extra to have the chrome removed from my Tundra and replaced with body color trim.

I like them black on your bike So they blend otherwise they bring to much attention since everything else is black.

There's my problem. I go back and forth between blending and noticing. :-\ Lol

You're the reason why I got these things in the first place! And for that Sir, I thank you! The chrome on yours looks really good, but then again you've got a lot of chrome going on.

And that's my argument for black.... With all the lack of chrome my bike has, I'm leaning towards blacking them out....

If you keep it chrome then it ties in the top of the tubes and looks plain badass. Is you paint it black then you will barely even know they are there and won't appreciate them. Think of how it will look rolling down the road with that black wheel spinning and the chrome spike. If its black it will all blend in. Trust me. Keep it chrome

I agree Shimbo. I like the chrome, otherwise why have them if they aren't noticed.

I say black. But I am not a fan of chrome either. I going for the blacked out look on my bike. Gonna paint the plastics soon.

 

[strykenshane]

I agree, chrome

 

[The_Joker]

I like those....I suppose I should search, but maybe you can just tell me where you got them...... ;D

I'd go with black....no chrome.....no black.....not sure.....but I want some....


Black on one side, chrome on the other

Personally I like the chrome. A bit-o-bling don't hurt a thang, and the after market stuff I plan to add is gonna be chrome. BUT, if I had the Raven, then I would probably go dark because of the tank. Either way it's gonna look good!

Dang! Tied! I'm assuming there would be more chrome votes if I added chrome top fork spikes too? But I'm also considering blacking those out as well.... So I guess I should be asking, all black or all chrome!?! ???

 

[11Stryker]

Chrome

 

[schimbo stryker]

Top black bottom chrome. Lol

 

[jmules]

Top black bottom chrome. It's a nice contrast.

 

[Aelway7]

Black, but I am also a non chrome fan

I think the chrome looks BAD A$$!!!!! You don't notice the black to much, kind of blends in.
