New Color Scheme :D

Bought a set of fairing in bits & pieces and painted it them pearl white. Install the first three pieces so its kind of mix & match with the black fairings...Do you like the combination or should I go all white?



White with black front fairing, black tail and cowl



Like above but with white cowl



a$$ end



White front & black a$$ end.



all white? (pieces not installed yet)



So what do you think?

go all white, but keep the matte black middle piece.

I'd seen another 250 online with a similar paint job and it was sexy as hell. I think the guy used the pearl white from the 350z and got his wheels powdercoated gold. looked really good, imo

Yeah you must have seen Beast's bike. He hasn't come around anymore though.
Yeah this is the same white. Has some metallic flakes that only can be seen in the sun or bright light. All white with carbon fiber twill front fender is nice

Looking great sir... personally I'd go all white but save the front fender. Something about white bikes with a white front fender and black wheels looks very slick IMO.

Either works. I think all white is cleaner but white/black is sportier. If you go with a black rear though, don't use the white cowl, it throws off the balance.

Edit: I agree with the Monster sticker removal.

Love the white, if I didn't have the SE scheme I'd do this. I say paint it all white if you do something with the rims. If not I think there's a good balance.

john - looking really sharp. keep the front fender black and go with the white cowl. one tip, white out the top of the tail pieces so that only the side/underside is black (similar to mine) also, lose the monster decals. yes, the akra is SICK!

Thanks Vince.

The black tank looks good on the side but if you look down, it doesn't flow well with the white sides. Also, since the tail pieces are pre-painted..I can only swap them out...can't repaint 1/2 like in the pic

I say all white, except possibly for a black fender.

Whatever you do... please lose the cheesy decals. Putting Monster decals on a 250 is sooooooo wannabe IMHO.

I used to think that stickers were cool... when I was 14.

Love the White Front/Black Back...... red rim tape throws the look a little... but overall looks great. With all the extra fairing and cowls parts you could just change out monthly depending on your moods. Great job either way you choose tho.
