I can't decide... so haven't voted yet. I like the red best of the three, but if you use black or white, it's something "different" which I think is cool too, especially for this situation. Any chance Thump can give us a visual on all three? ;)

Powdercoat the frame black too and that would look great.

I'm thinkin' that might be too much black.

A gold anodized frame might look cool with the black plastic and yellow graphics. :think:

I have to admit that after seeing the pic Dave posted, black does look mighty spiffy.

But the pics I saw of one of those limited ediotion AF's in white was fantastic. It bled both elegance and brute force. Very impressive, the white.

Can I change my red vote? Seems so comman to stick with stock. :think:

It would sure draw attention to the engine and other mechanicals. Lots of work, though.

I wonder what a white bike with the same graphics in red would look like?

i feel a bit uncomfortable giving any input.

but there are things to keep in mind
during a mag photo/ test

First and foremost -
Timeline!!!!
powder coating *might* be an option,*might*

anodizing the frame will not be (most vendors take longer for that process, we dont have time to risk it)

color-
ok i dig black.
anyone who saw my AF that was all black,
inclusive of the engine, farme /swingawrm /tripoler clamps and every single other part,except white number plates to set it off will know that! lol
in person it was stunning., the small details like gasket edges and stuff just set it off visually.
in studio photos it was *cool* and *ok*..
in a reg action style photo it was bland.

Black (plastic AND rims) look awesome in person.
Also a nice studio shot,

its real beauty does not show up in action style photos ,
the bike just fades into the background in a reg *test*
shot

Still it does look cool and DIFFERENT .

I'm not agaisnt it, or any other color..
just trying to make everyone aware of the negatives and positives of them all.

Red , is plain, and stock, but *pops* on camera..

white,like black, is better looking in person than in photos.
(for example to me the *limited* looked very bland in studio photos, but rocked in person)

me? i dig something different.
(but know that it will not photo as well)

carry on with the voting !
