To the guys with blue ninjas
What have you done to make the bike look better color wise?
I am thinking about adding white or gray or black striped patterns down the side because I have too much blue going on. Seat cowl/hugger/rim tape. Should I use vinyl on it? |

Fluki moto, it's Wednesday night. That means lady's night at the pubs. Get off the computer and go study some ass at a pub with lady's night.

Candy Plasma Blue is the fastest color and needs absolutely nothing to make it look better.
Put the vinyl down, polish your bike and revel in its awesomeness.

No bike ever looks fast strapped into the back of a pickup truck.

I can't agree more. Rims tripes IMO are ugly and just look tacky. Candy Plasma Blue is such an awesome color. |

If you happen to accidentally smudge it with your finger or some of the tape, then I found that you can spray some on the smudge and it will still look fine. I also found electrical tape to work better than painter's tape since you can use one long piece and go around curves if needed. |

I don't like the balance of blue/black/white on the 2008, but adding white doesn't compare to adding more blue.
Blue undertail, blue hugger, blue solo seat cowl, blue bar ends, blue PC rims, blue pegs, blue fairing bolts, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue... *swoon* |

A solid color almost always looks better than any sort of stripes or graphics, IMHO.

This is my pregen color scheme and at risk of starting a flamewar I think it's the best. But I don't think it would translate to the ant style shape of the newer models

That design does look awesome though. Only thing I'd do is switch to sportier mirrors, black out the frame hardware (footrest, frame cap, etc), eliminate the fender, and cover the seat. |

It's funny, when I went to buy my bike I really wanted a new gen because I thought it looked so much better. But now I've started to appreciate the old fashioned 80's style of the pre gen. Think I could rock either one and be happy.

I'd own any paint color but blue. I just don't like it on vehicles. But I like the plasti-dip scheme. Taking out one huge chunk will look better and be simpler and easier than a ton of little accents.
