that would look awesome with all black i think. did you look through the pics threads at all. i am not sure if there are any but with it all black everything it would look sleak and fast. this one is close to all black.

it would be a decent reference. it is not all black but the fenders are. you could do a photoshop on it to get the frame black. steve

looks sweet, i would have taken the shock covers off because the springs are red and it would add some contrast, and i might have put some red accents like brake and clutch levers or something, but it looks wicked dank, i did basically the same thing but just yellow and black, kept the stock yellow plastics and painted everything els black with some yellow accents

Just wanted to put my $.02 in. I painted my frame black, and I would never do it again. It looks bad *** for a minute, but then I went and rode it and it looks very bad dirty. It is very hard to keep clean and looking nice. It''s like a black car, it looks very nice right after you wash it, but the next day after a little dust has blown onto it, it looks like crap. But again, this is just my $.02 from experiance.
