I'm one of the minorities, but I like the industrial look engine wise. Black, dark grey, and maybe one shiny piece on the engine.

Don't ride in a modern muscle car then later ride in an old musclecar, it will ruin your memories. True.

I am not sure that is completely true. Both companies are owned by an investment company along with BG but it appears the investment company has chose to allow them to operate independently of each other.

Didn't think I was going to like the black but once they arrived I really liked it!

Black carbs matter.

White blowers matter.
