Heck, I may be a nut case but I thing the black looks slick as heck. I would like to see the clutch cover matched. The same old orange and white gets boring. At least Husqy tried with the silver; I think it would have worked if it didn't rub off so easy. They do look good when they are new IMO. With all that said the color is irrelevant to me. Paint it pink so I can buy it for about $500
