Black for me. Too many different red shades. Gives me a headache.

I see where you are going here,but I am a self avowed 'sticker *****',and unashamedly so.Just not a big fan of them on my rides.

This is what I originally thought.The black blends better with the engine behind it.

I also have a flat black,but was trying to offset all the flat in the engine.Going gloss to work with the trees,swingarm,derby cover,etc.

Really!?...I was going for a sort of CVO look with those.They do look like alot from the left side,but are much less obnoxious from the right.

This is the problem with powder on different metals....they all show different-billet,chrome,raw steel,diamond plate-It's ALL the same red powder color,just on different metals.Hence the black....gloss black is gloss black no matter what its on.

I was first thinking red, no sticker but now with that view, the red cowbell makes things a little to busy. I like the black.

Still prefer the black but I'd powder coat / paint flater-less shiny like the belt cover.
