    Need some opinions please!

    I am starting an online aftermarket billet alum.specialties product line, catering to GSXR's and Busa's for now.
    Some of you may have saw my sprocket cover to convert from cable to hydraulic.
    I just designed a 7075 alum top triple clamp. In order to be able to sell my products in a timely maner, I need to pay up front to have them made, and house them so they are ready to ship in a day or two.
    I'm not rich here, so I can only have so many of each on hand, till I can reorder.

    My question it, I want to offer the triple tree in polished and black anodized.
    But I dont want one selling more than another.
    So, if you were to buy a billet clamp, from anyone, not just me, would you rather have it in black or a polished finish?
    Black would match the stock theme of the bike, but polished also stands out better.
    So, I just want to try to get a feel out there what some of you would go with.

    Here is the clamp in a polished finish. In all honesty, I would have a bunch in many different anodized colors, but there is a 50 dollar min charge for each color. I'm trying to keep cost down to be able to bring a nice product at a decent price.
    So any input would be great.

    Thanks...

    I'd personally like black. Just make sure it doesn't look purply.

    The polished always seems to find the worst times to reflect light into my eyeballs.

    x2 i prefer black, but i would ask those questions on a gixxer or busa forum since they are who you are catering to. dont the gixxer guys like chrome? and what about all the show busa's? lotsa chrome on those too. might sell more polished units to those guys.

    nine times out of ten its an electric razor, but...every once in a while...its a dildo. of course its company policy never to imply ownership in the event of a dildo, we have to use the indefinite article "a" dildo ...and not..."your"...dildo...

    My 750 stock is black but the polished looks good and does stand out. I vote polished.
