My second vote was going with the orange and black as well but I guess you have to vote on both at once.

Stock colors... I know it's boring, but never gets old looking at them!!  A also like all black/white/silver... but that wasn't a choice! (Y)
No matter what you do, take your time, do it right and it'll come out great and be rewarding because you built it.  But if your like me, after all that time, blood, sweat and tears, you won't wanna get it dirty!!

A white frame seems to me like it will never look clean after you ride it a few times.

That's way too much money for chrome. I'm in about $260 for my A-arms, tie rods, & hardware to be chromed. Definitely shop around for a better price.

Not to bring up the dead horse but on the old quadracerhq there was a member from england I believe that had a all black frame with yellow fenders, black wheels & it looked outstanding!!! Id go with a black frame, yellow fenders & little polished accessories!!! Keeping things polished after being in the sand or dirt is not fun!!! The black & yellow wil definatly compliment each other!!! I pulled out a one of a kind zilla!!! Put YOUR PASSION to the zilla!! Step back & look at your zilla & imagine the end result!! After all you gotta ride it & there is nothing better than people turning there heads to figure out what your zilla is!!!

I saw a picture on the old site while westtex had it up of a bike with yellow fenders and a black hood but it had a blue frame with black a arms. I liked it but didn't like the blue. I can't stand blue and yellow because I'm a diehard Ohio State guy and blue and yellow just scream loser to me.

Should I powder coat my Q silencer black? Below is a black powder coated Shearer silencer for reference.
