The blue, as long as you get a good match, would look best IMO.
Makes it all, look co-ordinated.

Well. White just looks silly. Red breaks up the line from the blue front fairing, across the blue tank and onto the back. So it has to be blue because the up-er level of the bike is blue. Art is all about flowing lines that please the eye Thumbs Up

Well, I generally like Blue, but isn't the whole point of tarty-ness having everything colour-matched and "blended" in? In which case, it's gotta be white. Or black, to match the seat. Razz

Looking at your first (original?) picture and reading your post I had decided white as it would go with the rest of the seat panels but after looking at the edited photos I actually prefer the blue one.

hehe.. strangly that''s the second mention of doing it pink,

I originaly had planned to do it white, as having it blue makes it stand out as a set cowl, if it was white it would actually draw your view away and you would just look like a single seater.

I think blue draws attention to a 'mod'.....

If pink is out of the question, I personally think the blue looks best out of red, white or blue.

I think red really. The line of the red from the fairing sort of goes up in a line to the back of the seat. White makes it look flat, blue stands out a bit too much, but red just seems right. (It is one of my fav coulours though. . .)

Blue, it balances out the colour blue at the front end. it attracts attention to the rear and the CF can Thumbs Up .

red looks silly. white doesnt look bad, but is a bit plain and doesnt really catch your eye.

Not sure an 'F' could ever look like a single seater, due to the shape of the riding seat - it's too smooth.

I'm with the blue, it matches the top of the tank and therefore looks less out of place than the other colours. White could be dangerous, especially if it doesn't quite match (the paintwork willl be newer than on your bike, so could look a little *iffy).
