Can u ever have too much black. :)

What would go with polished lip on rims and polished handlebars. Im looking for one color on the frame and a different on the body panels. Dark blue inner rims and frame and black panels? Im looking for something completely different than most bikes.I personlly like the painted frames if they go good with the bike, however you can never fail with black it just looks more stock.

if you go to www.alsacorp.com the company "Alsa" has some really cool paints.

I had a frame done in gloss, with their copper crazed painted over it, and it turned out alright.

love bikes, and anything with a engine/motor, and i love the ride way more than the destination, unless I have a passenger, then that's all that matters.
