Granny smith green!
we have been known to use that on builds as well


we used a black and orange combo on a fighter build as well


this orange had a nice flake to it




i am a big fan of black and orange though... even used that combo on my sled build

NOOOO!!! IMO, that would look like an orange creamsickle.... helluva treat but not on a scoot. And orange looks great with black, right??!?

I would bet that a deep, darkish orange rim with an a$$-ton of spokes would look sharp...

I think it looks trick. The orange rims with orange accents would look good. I was going to go with all black powder coating on the rims. Black is real popular and I wanted to be different. JRK5892 where is your shop located?

Bet this bike would look slick with orange rims. The headlight visor has gotta go though!
