Probably a few RED sets... IMOP, the black and silver are still going to be the staple of ordered units.
I have a few other good ideas if ya want to PM me... I have request from customers all the time. ~ Jaxon

I agree with Jaxon about the Black and Silver. Anything else is going to show its down time.

As far is I know your crash bars powdercoated. Only two colors look good in powdercoat and you have both of them.

The red may look good on a very custom bike, but the black and sliver will look the best on all bikes. JMHO

I hate to hijack this tread but what is the probability of AltRider making a pillion luggage rack for this bike? I see you make them for other bikes and I would really like to have one for my Tenere. I am just itching to spend more money on your products! Hey, Touratech makes one. Just sayin'. ;)

Silver goes with everything.

Black goes with everything.

Why limit your targeted market by adding colors only a very few of them might want? That's assuming you'd always have them on-hand. If everything is initiated at the time-of-order then go for it but this crowd is going to be more interested in function and less in purty stuff.

If you want to do something that will set yours apart even more... add some light tabs in a couple places that look good and then you can sell some light kits to go with the bars.

Just my opinion..

Is it just me or does a S10 with a little wear & tear look better?

...i would think the guide on color would be what are the rear bags going to look like.

Mostly silver or Black - thus, I'd stay with that.

*(altho white with white would be the bees knees*)

I would have to say negative on the white and red. Do you have a photoshop available? Some of us may think different actually being able to see it. But I think, just stick with what you have already. Its easy and not very expensive if we (the consumers) want to paint/powdercoat them.

Gotta be careful with Red & White. Another group of riders owns those colors and it ain't necessarily on their Harley's.

Offering red as an option for the white bike would be cool. Powder coating is quick, it's not like you need to stock dozens of them. I don't think the Hells Angels will mind.

Special colors feels like bling to me, like putting chrome on a Harley. Not really something I'm into. The last thing I want to do is make my adventure bike so aesthetically pleasing that I'm afraid to take it on an adventure.
