I'm thinking that all black frames is a decision made by the manufacturer to help reduce the the cost. All frames going to a paint line running black would be faster and therefore less expensive than keeping frames and body parts all together for paint work.
Having seen a few airheads with paint matched frames, I think it is very hard to make it look right. Maybe because the frame is less visible on an airhead than a pre-1970 bike. Maybe because we are just so accustemed to seeing the airhead with a black frame.
