Something bright. I personally like a Red/Orange pearl mix. But a yellow or a glow green (Artic Cat) would look nice too. If you want to stay with a stock colored candy paint like Honda did, the Flake Orange is very nice looking too. Good Luck with that bike, it is gonna fly!!!

" My built is almost done" SHOULD BE....My build is almost done.
"Don't worrie about original color match," SHOULD BE....Don't worry about original color match,

About the color....With a black frame you could use ANY color you choose.

You could do a silver tank with black stripes and emblems. Along with silver side covers with a horizontal black stripe down the center. I think that would look pretty cool.
