Face Lift Graph Kit

8gauge · October 28th, 2010, 03:11 PM

What do you guys think? I'm sitting on the border of getting this graph kit. There's only three 2010 limited editions on island. Everyone knows my bike and the two other bikes. We're pretty much like triplets with minor variations.getting this graph kit will match my helmet : Scorpion EXO400 Urban Destroyer

Stay one of the trio, or break away?

It's a matter of preference. Personally it is too busy for me. I like large solid areas with sharp lines between tones. But I grew up working on muscle cars so whodathunkit?

I think it does a good job of making your bike match your helmet better, and if you like it thats really whats more important.

Graphics are nice, but I think over time I'd get tired of it. Easier to change out a graphic helmet than a graphic bike. Prefer mine solid with just a touch of decaling. Definately nothin with a hint of pink in it either.

I agree with some of the others that it is just a bit to busy. Perhaps something a little more subtle. With that being said do what makes you happy not us. It's your bike and you are the one that has to ride it.

I wouldn't personally do it, but I think it would be a pretty cool look, ESPECIALLY with the near-matching helmet!

I kind of like the fact it's pushing me into acid flash backs.

It look's a little like the white CBR with the "chick" on it.

I like the concept...not for me- but I DO GET IT. How about a little less on the bike. I mean go with the idea-just cut it back some. Go with the less is more theme. You need to find more balance. Just my opinion.

8gauge · October 28th, 2010, 10:11 PM

thanks everyone. I guess it was weird for me seeing my bikes twin when i stopped by the local shop for some gear. So that's probably why i've been itching to stand out from the other one.

Idk why the hell she would want to park right next to mine, because i felt super stupid almost getting on to the wrong bike.

Getting on the wrong bike....now thats funny. I actually spit a little coffee on my puter screen this am.

Hahaha that is funny!

I think it looks cool, but would be a pain to install. You would have to get it rite the first time. If you really want to stand out from them, you could always repaint the bike to a whole new color? Or make custom graphics for it. I believe there is someone on this forum who can make some.?.

Everyone is missing the point. To get the chicks everyone knows you gotta rock the pink unicorns with rainbow background

There lies your problem... helmets are a personal item just like trying to rock a pink pocket brush. Doesn't work unless you're trying for the home team. Men won't admit but they love the color pink so they project the color on women.
The only way you could possibly get away with wearing a pink helmet is if you had some airbrush work done to it to make it look like female genitalia and you said something witty like, "I like to stick my head in it".

Not cool enuff?? Lol

SaintJPN · December 27th, 2010, 05:15 PM

If I didn't have my helmet I would wear that one. I live in Japan, a lot of the locals wear pink. Of course our idea of fashion sense and their idea of fashion sense are like night and day.

I've got the gold tinted shield on mine.
