Ok, seeing all of our life's most important questions get answered on this forum.

I'm trying to decide whether to leave my MTB fork in the OEM grey or black it out. I already have the Stealth Black Decals on hand.

So far around here it's a 3 for blackout and 2 for OEM.

Thanks a bunch guys.

    Lol so true :D

    Yeah man, black it out!! Sweet bike by the way. Fox, good stuff!! I ran a Fox twin clicker rear on my '91 750. That 750 was so beat up when it was all said and done, I'm sure you could beat me with your trail bike :D

    The burnt orange is pretty sexy, and a nitrogen charged rear shock??? Pretty nice man. Is that also a Fox shock?

    I honestly do not see any difference here. One has a sticker, the other does not.

    A beat up bike is a bike that's been used. I'd rather see that over princess bikes. Mine had scratches and scuffs. Yes I do touch some of them up if they are deep.
    These days there are do many categories of bikes. Mine now is a mullet long travel trail. I actually use it primarily as a park bike. I have 140 in the rear and 160 up front. I'm still playing around with my coil. Trying to figure out my number. I'm using the adjustable Sprindex.
    That Pennyflake really stands out in sea of black. Grey, blue bikes. But in a tasteful way. Which is what I'm going for, focus on the Pennyflake.

    They both have decals. They are there just a Stealth Black decal on black lower legs.

    I went full coil last year.

    So, so much better for my riding.

    Yeah, it's heavier, but the ability of the bike to just chew up chunk is amazing. IMO, the dirty little secret in the MTB industry is that unless you're sending massive jumps all the time, coil suspension is simply a much better performing option for most riders. The exception is going to be high level XC racing, where every gram counts.

    I'm not a weight weenie. I do lift assisted bike parks, the extra couple hundred grams for the coil I don't care. Actually the pros are adding weights to their DH bikes. Mind you strategically placed but I'll take it lol.
    I wish we lived closer, I think think between audio and bikes, our significant others would never see us.
