black or white frame?

chicken · 24-Apr-2004, 08:16

As part of the upgrade process, I'm going to get my frame and wheels powder coated.

At the moment I've chosen gloss black as the fairing will probably go black in the medium-term. However, the white frames of the early SS and SBKs do look great and really shows off the design.

I know the white frame will look good with the existing silver scheme, but will it look good with black fairings?

I quite fancy doing my frame in black come the end of the year.

I'd like to see a black SS.In the medium term I'll have to get mine done and black is an option(might look good with a red frame too)

White sounds like heavy duty to keep clean while Black sounds sexy to me !!!

Nice one Chi.....I like it.....Black always makes a machine look completely different I think.

That scheme works well with the Carbon goodies as well.

How about a silver frame, for that Alloy look ???
