Default Polished swingarm VS. Black swingarm, What do you all think?

I have come into a real cheap swing arm that i can have powder coated black for free, or i can polish the swing arm i have. I cant decided what i want to do. I have the silver and black paint scheme. going to polish the lips of the rims. carbon fiber mirrors, levers, bar ends, foot pegs, honda stickers, tank pad, triple tree cover.

What do ya think, post up pictures too to show off your personal choice please. Thanks everyone!

here is an old picture of my bike, but it gets the point across. Black or polished?

I did my engine cradle, swingarm and a load of parts in a flat black powdercoating to match the frame for a very reasonable price. I think it looks way better than polished and it is far less upkeep.

well since no poll workage ill just count them, so far..........Black-3 Ploished-1 Thanks for the opinions so far!

capinsober I wish i knew what bike those forks were off of haha ill check the part number and swap them out for 54 forks one of these days, the kid that had it before me was a stunter so its hard telling how much of the bike is actually 54 parts and how much is just random bike parts.

I prefer polished unless you're going with a blackout scheme, which is nice as well.
