Purple and yellow are 'complimentary colors' , meaning that when one is accompanied by the other, both seem brighter and more vibrant. The ONLY reason I know that is from a art class, many years ago, in my high school where our school colors were purple and yellow (gold).

My vote is for purple. Make it stand out.

Hey man, got a different (smaller sized) pic of that bike? Looks sweet, but it's so blown up all's I can see is your mirror and some pretty nice scenery.

We put kuryakyn Lizard Lights on the wife's concord purple 1200C. Thay can change (or cycle through) 7 colors. That way she can have the LED's match her mood.

If you don't go with Lizard lights, my vote is for purple.
