After installing my Type 1's this weekend, I am having a dilema. First of all, I love the way they feel. They make me feel a lot more connected to the road. But for some reason I think the bike looks a lot better with the stock bars because of the chrome finish. Mind you I have an '05. So everything on the bike is very clean and new looking. So I now have to choose...I think the bike looks better with the stock bars....but I think it feels better with the SM bars. What should I do?

Why not just get the SMs coated if you are that worried about the chrome look?

Good point. How much do you think it would cost to chrome a handlebar?

Call around to plating shops, but the cost will feel cheap compared to the cost of SM's.

I have a set on my bike, and would not consider going back to stock.

after the grips and controls are back on, there's just a tiny portion of bars that are actually visible.
