I think the dominant bike color (burgundy?) would be better than chrome/chrome painting the airduct covers. Chrome is best used to accentuate the bike, not make it the majority of the parts.Chroming the airducts would look a bit out of place seeing as it's so near the rest of the plastics (the airducts are considered part of the plastics). I'd go with the dominant color of the bike...like this....

Good idea steph the only prob is i do not know where the bike was painted, much less what color it really is plus the metal flake in the paint. Is this something a custom shop could match?? thanks again (very nice lookin bike by the way)

Hmm...did you purchase the bike from the person that painted it? Maybe they can tell you what combo paint they picked. If that's not an option, then yes, a good custom paint shop should be able to color match...metal flakes and all. Thanks!
