Want a color to accent the bike..but what?

eddieA6987 · October 20th, 2012, 06:19 PM

So while reading through the forum and finding out that the 250r reasets fit this bike i want to add some new ones as well bar ends and back pegs and i want a color to accent the bike , i ws thinking maybe red? or blue and then get matching rim tape... what do you felllas think? would it look tacky? maybe if the plastics had a tad bit of that color. i have guy on facebook who makes decals perhaps switching that gray ninja logo to match the accent color?

Insights???

i also feel ana ccent color would loook much nicer if the bike was all black, but since its white AND black im not sure of how itll look and parts are expensive to be "trying" it out. :/ so if anyone has a black 300 ill trade you my white plastics

Your bike's black and white? I'd say red. It's classic with black and white. I like yellow black and white, too, though.

I don't think your ninja really need some accent, the white accent the black and vice-versa...

But if you need to put some color...

go for gold...

It's the best for white and black...

But be sure you get the same color all around...

yeah i was actually thinking red my self and the gold looks so hot too. ill see what i do. I aso want to get the side panels that are a flat finish, glossy like the rest of the plastics.

Guy who makes decals on Facebook? Could you share the info? I'm looking at getting a few made as well

and btw...go with RED!

Pink, baby blue, any color of the rainbow, how sweet it is! No wait, that would look like a girl's bike. It's the 250 that's a girl's bike. The 300 is strictly for burly men. I guess grey. It's very Wall Street.

I have decals on my site as well

Personally, I would go with blue. I'm biased though

ricochet08 · October 23rd, 2012, 11:05 AM

Red only because Red is Red and looks good in Red
Red = more horsepower
Red makes your bike lighter
Red = best
Red = amazing on black and white

Does that help?

cerberusrex25 · December 23rd, 2012, 09:00 PM

I would vote gold, but then again, I know nothing about colors or color theory.
