Pictures! Pictures!

And I like chrome forks, but black PC would be less common and might look good on the bike.

Pictures would help, though, especially after your comment about the paint...

I'd do C, too. The fork slider pulls my eye from the fire on the fender...not a good thing, but I think pcing the slider black will make the fork tube accent the fender, as the slider disappears. Cool paint, BTW. The frame is doing the same thing the slider is...distracting the eye...black is the way.

FWIW, here's my philosophy on a black bike(since I have one)...I like to see any alloy or chrome bits in very key places only, and very, very shiney. Otherwise, they look dirty. For example, I have chrome mirrors on the barend...chrome shocks, chrome chain guard, and polished alloy engine covers and carb bowls. I am planning to polish the sliders soon (not black or shiney enough...not sure which), and see if it's too much shiney for the front. if it is, they'll get painted black. That's my .02..i like black, and shiney, but only when there's more black.

WOW!
Good to see you back on the forum, Skully.
Nice work as usual.
Hmmmm, noticed a few changes though. No more turbo, completely different front end, different swingarm, plug wires,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Wait A Minute! Is this the same bike that used to look like this?
