Prefer the black but that's how I roll.
Nice job.

Black as long as the majority of the bike is black. May I ask where you got that seat?

I like both. Change it up once in a while.

I like the black look, maybe some pinstriping only. By the way, what gauges do you have? I see that have a white face, looking to change my speedo/tach. And if you decide not to use the black side covers, would you sell them? Keep the pics coming...

With the silver ones your eye is drawn directly to those and the engine case,you want the eye to travel around the bike,how about making the silver one like some sort of checkered flag design.
