Default HELP,,, for forks sake

found out today that the gold forks pictured here on the Warrs SB are done by this company, not far from me:

http://www.reactivesuspension.com/

i just bought a new set of stanchions,, and so it has to happen,, i have to get them coated by this company...

but seriously,, what color do i go for if you look under services, you will see they do gold ( like warrs) or they do black..

if i go black , would i have too much damn black going on and if i go gold, then WTF coz i aint got any other gold on the bike??

advice needed please and i promise to listen to Panhead

Too bad you just bought new brake rotor's, cause it would look good if they were gold as well, if thats the way Panhead decides to take you.

Go with the gold Pete. It's just my opinion, but I think the gold fork tubes on those other bikes you guys posted pics of is just enough to really set off the black!

Not a big fan of the gold but think black would go overboard as well. Chrome is definitly out on you bike so I guess it's gold. Would be cool if they could do an exact match of the rear shocks though. Now I must go drop a duece.
