Chris:

I think you should go with the black one. Since I have all of your brothers and your pull off parts on my bike anyways, Now I would have even more! I personally don't think there going to change much if anything between 09/10 so get the one you want. It will end up totally different when your done anyways!!!!!

#3 all the way, you may not need the ABS but when you decide to sell it it will be a better tool for that. let me know if you want to change tins with me too, I will take that ugly *** orange from you

Bro, almost everyone in the "after market" is accommodating the ABS situation as this will be the standard in years to come, I have ABS and I am looking into a set of 6 piston Chrome Calipers and no problems at all, so don't let that limit you in any way.

Considering the level of customization you're likely to do, if it were me, I'd go with the cheapest "blank canvass" available.

But yeh...definitely an '09 for the new frame.
