Thinking of a repaint

JeffM · March 21st, 2010, 01:56 PM

Opinions wanted:

Old school white and red like this 1989:

Or red like this:

sixer · March 21st, 2010, 03:56 PM

old school looks a bit more vis-able
would like to see some silver on the front fender - mebby

Postiez · March 21st, 2010, 06:25 PM

old school for sure

kevlarorc · March 21st, 2010, 06:26 PM

old school with white front fender

jonthechron · March 21st, 2010, 06:30 PM

Old school! keep it real!

cnichols79us · March 21st, 2010, 06:52 PM

Yup. Mine is Red and I like the White and Red better. I am a Traitor.

Snake · March 22nd, 2010, 04:55 AM

I like the red the best.

talldrink · March 22nd, 2010, 05:08 AM

Old school FTW!!

JeffM · March 22nd, 2010, 12:57 PM

Ok this is what I think I'll go with:

White fender with my black wheels

M-Oorb · March 22nd, 2010, 12:59 PM

Yes...much better

I don't have photoshop anymore otherwise I would try it, but what about blacking out the lower section of fairing since you are blacking out the wheels. Similar to how the red bikes lower fairing is. I think it makes it look a tad more modern while keeping the old school paint.

Cedilla · March 22nd, 2010, 02:57 PM

Old skool, hands down.

JeffM · March 22nd, 2010, 03:03 PM

Quick and dirty. Painted the lower section black and not sure about it. What do ya'll think?

lilninja · March 22nd, 2010, 03:19 PM

i like old school with the black.

mrlmd · March 22nd, 2010, 04:01 PM

The red wheels IMO are ugly on both bikes.The black wheels are better looking.
Go with the white if you like that better, but like in your past pic, keep the lower part of the bike black. And take off the lower Ninja decal.

I think the Black on the Lower fairing looks Sweet with the Black wheels.

BlueRaven · March 22nd, 2010, 05:22 PM

can you black out the lower part of the back fender under the red to see what it looks like?

Old school with the black looks good

Banzai · March 22nd, 2010, 06:12 PM

Red.

JeffM · March 22nd, 2010, 06:25 PM

BlueRaven, here you go. I kind of like it.

BlueRaven · March 22nd, 2010, 06:43 PM

Now the seat kinda stand out. How about blacking the middle part only leaving bottom and top white.

Momaru · March 22nd, 2010, 07:14 PM

Wow, that latest setup looks sharp. Reminds me vaguely of a white tux with red accents

I would agree with you on the furniture thing too.

No need, plenty of white/red/black leathers on the market already

Dainese has several others, as does Spartan, to list a couple

Your right Jeff that suit is very stylish.

gitoy · March 23rd, 2010, 06:20 PM

i like old school..but then i am biased...here is the bike i used to have...

Daeldren · March 23rd, 2010, 06:22 PM

I definitely like the 80's race style vibe with those colors, wonder how the 08 models would look with a similar paint job.

Dano · March 23rd, 2010, 07:12 PM

My Favorite is the old skool w/ black wheels and black lowers and black on the tail...sweet looking paint concept.

I have only moved my furniture twice in the last 10 years and it was only to make room for when i got my first computer.

GeorgiaHooligan · March 24th, 2010, 04:36 PM

Make sure you get the one piece to match!

JokerSeven · March 24th, 2010, 05:44 PM

Old Skool
All white with black or white power coat wheels.

ckholloway · March 24th, 2010, 07:36 PM

I'm sayin white fender and black wheels otherwise old school is the way to go

JeffM · March 24th, 2010, 09:09 PM

gitoy that was a sweet old bike.

Ok, Iv'e decided on the white with black lowers. I think I may also get in touch with Becky and get a seat done too

(quick photoshop job, sorry)

Momaru · March 25th, 2010, 09:35 PM

I passed a new mustang with this style paint scheme (old white, bright red accent striping) on my way to work this morning. Looked good!

camaroz1985 · March 26th, 2010, 08:21 AM

Looks good with the cowl style seat. When willl you be doing this?
