    White!, don't leave it silver it will just add one more color and look random since all the rest of the bike will be painted.

    So you're using your decals as masks? Just painting, then peeling off the decals?

    No just leave the engine alone, it is covered and darkened since it is under the frame. I am going complete custom on mine but leaving the engine stock, just really clean.

    Like this is stock engine color but custom but it is basically covered so you don't really notice it.

    Im digging the swing arm delete! And the rims! You have to admit tho. A white engine with a blacklight on it! That would look sick! ;)

    Maybe I over thinking all this. LOL!
