The only reason reason you added "with no other choice of vehicle" is because if there was a blue one there, the matte black would beat it hands down :p

Don't know if this helps but satin black frame and swinger, subframe and fork legs with black bodywork but with a metallic red flip in the sun.

Want to change the decals but not had the chance yet to get them ordered.. the pipes I'd like them different but can't go changing the whole yoshi system for the sake of a colour.

Why ask... sometime you just go to do it and find out?

couldn't you re-sleave the pipes mate, then attach the yoshi decals to the new sleave's?

imho i think the gold contrasts well against the black, but if you want a super stealthy black look, then get them re-sleeved, i still like carbon myself... :wink:

That was my thoughts exactly, and the white wheels work IMHO 8) 8)
