IMVHO Steve, no I don't think they look quite right on the XBR, mine were black but big bro had the chrome non adjustable ones on his Beemer. They seemed the very good and seemed well damped etc when following him. As far as I know he thought they were generally ok, especially for the money and like he says he did 20k on them and defo not all of them in the sunshine. I suppose it depends on how much one really wants to spend. Cheers, Michael
