With the Nitto you don't have a choice but silver. the only downside is once you put the Nitto on the front you'll want one on the back. btw, the silver will look great with the color of your bike, better than the black I think.Dan1964https://www.blogger.com/profile/15800522776962754481noreply@blogger.com
