Colour change, what do you think?

What do you guys think of this, i await the banana comments but yellow is a great colour, looks funky Razz

I hate taz and the guy before me didnt laquer the bike so every time i spill fuel it leaves a big smudge of paint and so its going to be resprayed.

Anyway, do you think the colours look crap, can you recommend anything to suit the bike (ie. crap), i was thinking maybe black?

Yellow is good!

Oh and in your sig it says "one day I will make it to 65mph"

You have got to over 80mph on a bike (ok it was my bike when I was overtaking them cars)

I'm quite taken with the idea of a bright yellow bike. They look larger if nothing else (black ones look quite diminuitive), and stand out like sore thumbs. It suits me to arrive creating as much visual and aural pollution as I can. Very Happy

The yellow looks good. Do it. Thumbs Up

I did the photoshopping and i went out to get some paint today. I tried boyes and halfords but they only seem to sell bright yellow paint, not the slightly orangy yellow im looking for. Any ideas where i can get some?

Yellow suits it better. Good idea to make the casquette black too.

The headlamp shell. The bit he made black in the second photo, funnily enough.

Kenny Roberts version - don't do it unless you want everyone to laugh at you!

The yellow is good though. To get a good finish go to a car resprayers and get them to order the right colour paint for you. You might need to buy or hire a small electric sprayer but the result will be a million times better than doing it with cans. You can also put a proper undercoat on and laquer it afterwards. It's worth taking your time.
