Coin toss...

Is there a particular color scheme you're going to waiver toward...what color is your bike now (tins)? Any pics?

Also, might want to consider adding a poll to your thread.

I've been getting some parts Cerakoted recently. You can pick all sorts of colors or finishes and it's very durable.

IMO, unless you plan to black-out the bike, chrome works best w/ your scoot.
