while plain is sometimes good and classy (like a black tux or a woman's black dress) - you would need to pull the theme together - add more flat black, get rid of the chrome bumps on the air filter, get matching rotors and a narrower fender, rear wheel and maybe derby cover too.

I don't know,might not be bad after you bolt on the rotor or rotors if polished or chromed.

A big bag of meh for your scoot...
I prefer a bigger/bulkier/beefier looking rim. Just my opinion though.

Hah, couple of you guys are coming around......look at the bike. What sick minded psychopath picks black denim, and mounts up some slick azz wheel?

Just my opinion...... is black denim meant to pop?

I'm just playing devil's advocate. And seriously want to do a wheel. I have a hard time following the crowd when the dinner bell rings.
