I am pretty sure the ears and chain guard were gloss black on the UK H1a but I will stand to be corrected. Chrome guard on US model. UK H1a`s had points ignition not CDi.

US model
deffo Chrome. Got those little "finned" bits at front.
Headlamps Ears. Satin ,not matt. Satin. Thats awee bit shiny .
Which is like the result when I try and paint something gloss !!!
( Then again, the Factory were not adverse to chucking last year/next years parts on some bikes at the beginnig/near end of production. So if yours is a low/high numbered version of the model, anything goes !!!
b.t.w. Neither of these items will make your bike go faster........................................
