I wsn't sure about this, but I figured it takes half an hour to put it on and if it looks shit or I get sick of it, it can easily be taken off...
In the end I was pretty happy with the result, the red is dark so its very subtle, even more so in real life than in the pictures. What do you reckon?

I agree Keen, its easy to go OTT on modifying bikes to the point that they simply look stupid
I like mine as it is now, wont be doing anything else to it for the time being ____________________ Live on the Isle of Wight and ride a CBR600F |

Nah the white would have looked a bit gay IMO
The red offsets the rest of the bike very nicely I like it
The engine also looks extremely similair to the CBR400's and the older 600's engine configuration...I smell opertunity ____________________ Will work for petrol

Looks nice, gives the bike a bit of character and focus. As nice as they are, white Hornets are a bit bland looking (except for that lovely high exhaust) and the rim tape sets it off nicely. |
