I liked the gold better. The whole black out thing has been beat to death. A little accent sets the bike off IMO.

Accents are great when they all match and are done right, but when your accent pieces don't match, the whole thing looks like crap.

I'm glad you kept the wheels though, I think they look good on the black bike! I can take or leave the gold forks, looks good with the black too and since that's what you like then it's a good swap!!

Now that the forks match the paint, rather than mismatched gold shades, it looks 100% better. I'd rock it.

Blow me! It's almost impossible to find gold pieces that match perfectly...you can think my bike looks like "crap" if you want but I really wanted to follow a theme at the time...Nyahh nyahh nyahh!

Aw thanks,Ebbs. Yea I have black rearsets already but buying the chain adjusters,chain,tri-metal sprocket,levers,forks,etc just to please you bastards doesn't really appeal to me for some reason....

that bike would look even sicker IMO if you had the wheels powdercoated the same blue as the rest of the theme. WHite wheels look good too, but that blue would look sweet.
