EDIT: going to have to wait longer now as my brother just knocked my bike over on the drive and put a nice dent in the fuel tank.


Well it looks like my wheels are finally going to the powdercoaters on Tuesday. Smile I'm thinking of getting them re-done in the same colour, as my reason for getting them re done is that the quality of the current paint job is appalling, I think someone just used a paint brush on the front one. Laughing I did attempt to repaint it with spray paint but gave up on finding the right colour after one failed attempt. Smile

Anyone have any ideas on other colours that would look good? Photoshop images welcome. Twisted Evil

This is the current beast...

Go for a burnt metallic metalflake orange this time instead of a solid Repsol orange. I'm a tart and if i did the wheels any other colour I'd need to match the tank graphics exactly to sleep at night! Laughing

The stickers are easy, they aren't lacquered on or anything. Smile I put them on myself to match the wheels in the first place.

Graphite grey or a darker silver similar to the engine cases would look both subtle and smart I think personally.

He will be paying for it. Smile I just need to wait for him to get paid which means I may have to lend him the money to give back to me to get my own bike fixed. Neutral

Have you thought about getting the seat re-covered in the same colour?

That could look really good, but coloured seats can be a sod of a thing to keep clean.

I've never liked coloured seats, maybe black with matching stitching. Thumbs Up

Black and green has been a favourite colour combination of mine, ever since I saw one of these:
