Which one do you think ,votes please ;D
post a pic of the bike it will go on, for a better idea of how it will look.
On what bike? Mounted where? With what background? Need more info, and preferably a pic of the cockpit.
I went through the same thing. I liked the black more initially, but the white fit better with my bike. The black one stands out more, especially with that chrome outer ring. You also notice the digital screen more on the black one. The white one is quieter looking and has a brushed casing. Drunken Monkey has one of the black ones mounted into his headlight.
I've been having the same debate myself.
Really it depends on how you've styled your bike.
The standard monster the motoscope classic in brushed Al I think is nice. If you have some classic styling cues, spoked rims, or a Sport 1000, etc. then go for the Chronoclassic.
Here are some examples that might help. Those are the only ones I could find.

The only thing I'd add is that a tach that good looking deserves a 'high contrast' background to show it off.
i.e. You'll note folks have put the white tach backed by a black headlight and the black tach backed by a light background.
This is the bike

I'd say the white one...matches the paint scheme with the red hand on a white background.
To bad the white doesn't come with a chrome bezel, then it would match your headlight. I think contrast to the surrounding is good for gauges, so that would mean black. But not in your case, I think the black would stand out too much.
I vote for white.
Black, FTW

Not to throw your plans into disarray, but this would look pretty sweet:

The white one would look great on that bike. I may send mine back and see if they will let me trade up to the black one for my bike.
Begin thread jack ;D supertjeduc what directionals are those on your bike?

The black one with the chrome bezel looks wonderful. I think it would look great on your bike.

Did you guys see the mirrors that have the displays built in? Kind of removes the need for any other gauges. Imagine somebody walking up to the bike, and looking around like "where's the gauges???" - and you turn it on, voila - idiot lights in right mirror, speed in left mirror.
Even on a white bike, white face tach is always right IMHO.
Please no chrome on your beautiful bike!
Just my 2c.
Just ordered the chronoclassic 10K darkedition

Yum, yum - gimme some
Have you considered another color for the bracket - or some cut outs - it lost some of it roundness?
yes i am thinking about it ,but when i am sitting on the bike i don't see much of the bracket
On the picture it's a bit different
