I would do black. There is already so much black in that area that I think a yellow one would jump out way too much.

A nice CF one would tie in with the exhaust pretty well...

Sorry, I have no photoshop skills.

I would go with yellow, I do agree though that CF would look pretty sweet. But if its black or yellow, I would go with yellow.

I'm leaning toward yellow, thinking it would balance out the visual impact of the front fender, but black would be OK too.

Here is a pic of a black one: http://forum.svrider.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=169&limit=recent

Black and the Micron looks great.

I'll check it out when we next get together for a ride.

Black. I always think color-matched huggers are just a tad too much...kinda like color-matched undertails.

Go black. I think it looks a lot better with the swing arm and frame. The color matched almost seems gimmicky.

This is my bike and the reason I went with black was because the yellow it came as kinda stuck out like a sore thumb. Plus I didn't want to get a yellow belly pan. The thought was if the yellow gets chipped up it's going to cost me more and be harder to match the yellow. I do like the yellow but once you have everything yellow it is just to much. $.02

With everything yellow-

How it is now-

If you're not doing the stripe, go with black. But I think the yellow with the black stripe to match the rest of the bike would look sharp.
