It's your bike, you do not need our approval. That being said, I would not do a white screen, either keep it black, silver or gold. I'd opt for the black myself, as I would not want to draw the radiator out, it's not my favorite part of the bike, lol.
As for the wheel stripes, it's really hard to tell until you got them on, I've seen some crazy color combos turn out quite nice.

I agree with Neanderthal, don't see why you would want to bling a radiator???...also white would contrast against all the bugs and crap that will get stuck on the screen - but don't let us stop you though.

Always thought the gold forks worked really well with the roulette green, so maybe a metallic gold pin striped wheels. Surely someone's already done that and can post some pics!

to be honest i never even thought of the bugs and road grime white is not looking like such a hot idea but im still thinking about an odd color for the radiator screen...

Gold would be great, as long as it's a similar finish to the fork.

I'm out of money after buying the bike last month, but eventually I want black rear sets, black controls, and a black exhaust (Collision Course, maybe?).

In other words, similar to agl675's bike but with black exhaust. I love the blacked out look - menacing, but still subtle.
