Default Handlebars - Black or Mirage Orange?

Guys,
I'm kicking the idea about my handlebars.
This is on my '09 RG, Mirage Orange Pearl

I had my inner fairing painted Mirage Orange Pearl.
I had the Speedo/Tach Bezel painted Gloss Black.
Cowbells/Fork Legs are powdercoated Gloss Black.
Switches/Levers/Mirrors are stock Flat Black.

Can't decide to powdercoat my handlebars Gloss Black...or have them painted Mirage Orange Pearl.

What do you guys think?

YELLOW,PINKandPURPLE with orange and black pinstriping..or since you have alot of orange already with the inner fairing painted orange....... less is more,BLACK!! final answer ok badpiggy you don't like my final answer..so since your a orange type of guy go with th BP apes in black with just the gussets painted orange for a touch..best of both worlds.

I voted black looking at the bike from the opposite side as your sig pic the handlebars would continue the line of the forks.

Default Black +

I like to see contrast and going black will really stand out with all of that orange and vice versa.
