    powder coating frame

    ok so i am gonna go against the grain here. the frame needs a few mods so its going to need powder coating again. i am seriously thinking of getting it done white, to match the bodywork.

                  Idk, I think white would be okay, keep in mind it'll get dirty quick though. Black is nice because you don't see all the crap on it.

                        This bike is so unique in it's beauty, it deserves to be painted white. Black is fine on lesser bikes, leaky ones, ugly ones, stock ones, or plain ones, but in this case go white all the way.

                          no, keep it black to match the seat and the exhaust. It looks great!!!! I`m jealous
