Default To black out or not to black out?

Hey guys... Need some opinions on direction for the new scoot. I love blacked out bikes, but everytime I look at my bike I also like the chrome with the black & orange.... Maybe it's just because it's in my garage and I usually convince myself that anything that let's me ride it is sexy .

So what do you think? Alll black? Keep the chrome as-is? All black with chrome pipes?? Help!

I agree. Leave it as is. You have a nice looking, balanced bike. You can out do chrome or the lack of it.

I like a nice balance of black and chrome, but with the lion's share going to the black.

Dont re paint
Spend your $ on lowering it, blacking out you trees & lowers, and horncover etc.. relocate your signals maybe go led - side mount plate, forward controls etc... you see where I am going with this (oh yeah and 1st things 1st -- Peel them reflectors off asap)

Your bike has mad potential -- black and orange with a touch of chrome

Right now my bike is black with a bit of chrome but I am actually going to add a few bits of orange to "set it off"

I really like the color you have. I'm a big fan of black bikes, but they're starting to be a bit common anymore; you have a good look going and I agree skulltrain up there. Be different and choose to let well enough alone. Save the money for working parts, like maybe some forward foot controls (or something that makes you more comfortable if that wasn't it.)
