Nice looking scoot AW,am thinking about powder coating most of mine black. Trying to picture what my paint scheme would look like with black instead of chrome before I jump in.

I say go with the black. It will really work with your colors.

i say give the black a shot. you have to be careful going black because i think it can get out of balance fast, but in your case i think you have the black two tone so it will look good. I have black wheels coming, and allready powdercoated a set of legs and cowbells. I am hoping it looks good for me as I have never seen a yellow RG with a blacked out front end.

I think chrome would look better with your setup. Once you go black, I think you have to go all the way, like shown above on AWMLLC200. Very nice.
