Gloss black wheels & forks, satin black (charcoal?) fork bottoms (whatever they're called), shiny chrome/moly tubes, gold rotors & raw aluminum calipers just don't blend cohesively.
And while I LOVE the black frame & swing arm (wish I'd done that when bike was apart for the motor swap) black is the one colour bodywork that doesn't look good with it, again because of the dissimilarities of shades. That is amplified by the forks I think.
Maybe would have been better if the forks matched the frame finish ..........
