I did like the black, I plan to keep my old tins in case I change my mind but I like the classic look of the two-tone.

Its your bike and I am never one to say anything to anyone bad about what they do to thier bikes but I prefered that black! Not sure why, I just do!! Maybe its that I have always thought a black bike was bad azz.

Any comments on the exhaust? I could go either way, I have the chrome system ready to go because I didn't think the black would work but it looks better that I thought. So now the chrome is sitting on the bench.

Good idea to have the two different color tins to change it up once in a while.

Gonna need more CHROME for my eyes. Exhaust, cam and tranny covers, oil tank, and I assume the primary is natural too. Really like that paint scheme.
