Default help me decide

OK, I think this week I am going to change up the factory striping on my Crossbones. Its not going to be a drastic difference, but....I plan on going to bright red and true white, both in flats. I am going to basically just go over the factory pinstriping that is already there, but I may extend it a little. The part I am having a hard time with, is deciding on the lettering on the tank. For those that don't know, on my bike the stripes are vermillion and ivory. Basically a redish orange and off white. The HD logo on the tank is more of a goldish color outlined in vermillion. I am thinking of doing white outlined in red, red outlined in white, or one that just came to me, flat black outlined in red. I think that would obviously be the most subtle of the three as far as visual impact, because once done, it would basically just be the outline of the lettering that you would see. I am going to make this a poll, but I will list an option for other, if you pick that, please post what you think.

EDIT, I added another option of solid red...

Have you tried photo-chopping to see which you like best?

ok, I found this pic on line. Can someone photoshop the logo with the options I listed in the poll? Hopefully the glare in the pic won't pose too much a problem
