Black has my vote; the tank edge looks unfinished as is; chrome makes it stand out like a sore thumb, (IMHO) black makes it blend in and gives a finished look. But, your opinion carries more weight than all ours put together.

Regards and such,

no to the chrome....as little as possible for me because I am not a fan of it.....

45 thanks I have it off and see where to start and it will be one continuous piece around the tank.

never planned on around the fenders as the fender guards add enough for me....

Chilli my pal.....I used to think that JagerMeister was the name of the guy I spent many an nite drinking with while stationed over to Germany, in fact I am sure I married his sister a couple of times over there.....sorry different story

Black edge (but i am partial, I have it on mine also...)

I didn't like it around the fenders, but definitely around the tank.

Word of experience, remove the speedo housing, start there, and run around the tank in 1 solid run, ending under the speedo housing.

If you can, i don't know if the rear of the 800cc tank has the flange or not near the nut that holds it on.

A friend with a 800 classic, put the chrome edging around his tank since he has more chrome than me.
he also added the edging around the windshield.
that i surely didn't like.

But it is his bike, and he didn't ask me..

I thought about the black edging for awhile, and maybe around the fenders too. Hang in there RatMan. JagerMeister may help.  ;)

 ;) thanks all and I have been mulling this over since I bought the bike, it is just one of them things that it is nice to listen to others, and yes opinons are like armpits or the other thing we all have and they all can stink, but also sometimes it is nice to pause and listen to others, because some people have smart ideas and some people are respected and thier opinions mean a lot to others......wow that came from me..... :-\

Black edge...

You know what they say.......Opinions are like armpits, and some of them stink!

Personally, I like the blacked out edge.  I've always thought that an edge on a tank looks "unfinished", or maybe like "standard equipment", whereas a finished edge, be it rounded off as in the case of the 1500's, or even a simple blackout paint job on the edge looks more "clean", or even "custom".

In the end though, it's your ride.

It may help you to decide if you take a large pic of your whole bike, then save it and make a second copy and spend some time in Microsoft Paint, or some similar program, and look at the change as a whole, instead of just looking at a portion of the bike.  It's hard to gauge the overall effect that way.

There's one of my armpits!
