I like carbon fiber, but it is up to you in the end. They both look great but I think chrome is nice when it is on a show bike and there is a lot of it. While carbon fiber is good with a few things here and there. Your picture did work but was a bit small, but we get what it looks like, we all have one too. Good luck on what you chose and post pics when you get it done.

I personally like the carbon look, but chrome looks good as well. Remember its your bike whatever you like is what you should pick dont let other people dress your bike up for you.

I saw a CBR F4 2k or maybe a 2k1, all the fairings were carbon, THE GAS TANK! this bike was soo fricken awesome, he said that the radar guns never picked him up because of the carbon fiber disipating the radar waves, he had spoke rims and he said the only way they got him was with a line-dar gun on his body, because he wasn't in tuck position. Gotta have some dough for that setup, but back to your topic, like they've already said. Chrome for shows, Carbon for go's

IDK who deleted my post about chrome bikes getting stolen, maybe it was on another thread somewhere else. But De Ja Vu, I swear I told you that chrome bikes are stolen alot more. Because guess who's stealing them, the ones who have more money invested in their 22'' chrome spinning wheels, (which are worth more than most of the cars their on.). Just listen to a few rap songs and you will hear the bloodlust for chrome from Americas majority of thieves/rapist/drug dealers/ incarcerated people. In no way shape or form is this a derogatory post of or for any nationality. But it's a fact of the matter that chrome attracts people, and most of the time, its the negative attention, the jealous kind, the kind that will keep you up at night waiting to hear if you hear 3 guys picking up your bike and putting it into the back of a van/truck and driving away. If you want to show your bike off, you don't have to chrome the whole bike, but a chrome/ mirror gas tank would be the sweetest thing i've ever seen. BTW there are other metal finishes other than chrome, such as for you rims midnight blue with dif color flecks in it. Pinstripping your bike, painting the bike. IMO just look at the broader spectrum of the endless possibilities to make your bike unique and one of a kind, one that discribes your personality! Doesn't mean stock bikes are for bland people, it means some of us, especially me can't afford the plastic surgeory for our women (our bikes).

Idk what the CCW laws are like in San Fernando but if you gotta protect yourself/your vehicle/ your money/ your transportation/ your family, then the use of lethal force is justified here in America. If you don't want it to go to the big courts, when you shoot someone shoot them below the groin/waist, then its not attempted murder.

Not to be a male shovenist pig but women always seem to find ways to hide things... And no, putting it there would not be effective! LOL Valley. The only Valley girls I know are the real ones, that are in Arizona. Are you a blonde Abercrombie/Foxy/Hollister kind of valley girl? Do you know wadadamean? OH MY GOD NO WAY!!! LIKE MY MOM IS BEING SUCH A FLING BELATCH! SHE WON'T PAY FOR MY GAS IN MY EXPEDITION!!!! OMG I HATE MY PARENTS! I'M GETTING INTO THE PORN INDUSTRY. (That was my attempt at stereotyping a valleygirl.) Does it sound about right? <3

But as yours is silver and red colour wise it might look better with chrome than C/F. But that's just my opinion
