    Hi,

    I own the below Bonneville (2003) T100, which has mainly chrome trim and engine covers etc

    However, I am wanting to put some lower handlebars on like the ones below.

    QUESTION

    Do you think that these handlebars would suit my bike in the top image if they were in black rather than chrome as shown below?

    Cheers

    i think if the engine was black and there was no other chrome on the bike the black bars would look good

    I've got chrome covers and I replaced my handlebars with black ones. In my opinion, black is much better.

    I think fork gaiters and black rocker covers would look great on your bike.
    Don't know if I would change the chrome bars, but you won't know till you try the black ones, it is a purely personal choice.

    Got to agree, black rocker covers would look smart on that bike and easy to do.
