here is rmartin's ti framed mosnter with a black swingarm:  i think he ano'ed the swingarm, but i'm not sure... i think he posted about it a while back he did, here is the thread, but it looks like he might have painted it or did something to make it a lot more glossy: http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=49960.msg914208#msg914208and personally, i like the black best. red stands out a bit too much and is a bit too "blingy" |

Funny, black&red looks a lot better than I thought it would. If you want something unique... I haven't seen anybody doing that.

They did  ,but it's not for me. Looks better on white wheels though. Csorins photos are a great help  At the moment I like the red cross members - probably on very dark grey. We'll see  |

Black or dark grey. Red looks a little too. . . um. . . like you tried too hard. It's just too much. The mixed paint is going to drive you nuts, masking, painting and trying to control the edge between the colors. If you want the color break on the lattice, do it in tape. It will be easier and reversable.
Lots of places do dark gray or black hard coat (anodized). Considering the beating the swingarm takes from the chain run and stuff from the rear tire, a durable coating will look good. . . longer. Maybe more work than paint but worth it in the long run.
