Black or White??

I was originally planning to put on a black FOX fork to replace my White FOX fork..
But people have been telling me that a white fork looks better on my Black frame..

Since I can't decide now.. what do you think???

Black or White??

Black. Bikes always look better, when the fork matches the frame.

That's also how you invalidate you warranty, fine is they are 2nd hand, wouldn't paint them if new, or until it ran out.

You're buying a new fork because you don't like the color of the one you have now? Um...want to send me the old one?

Black. I've never liked white forks. Red would look nice on that bike though.

Fork needs to have a thru-axle, whether black or white.

Black indeed! I run a rescue ranch for discarded Suspension Forks. Send the white one to me and I will give it a home until it dies a natural death.

No really I'd go with Black and add a small red 'Rad' decal of some kind near the bottom of one,,
not both fork legs, just one....

Tame to not so tame....

That is one of the reasons why I originally wanted to replace the fork. The color choice follows.

@all
I have considered all your suggestions; especially the red decal suggestion... But I still want the fork to look like a Factory Fork.. so I went ahead and got custom Red Fox decals.
All I need now is get a balck fork..
