red brake and clutch levers?

[mikesaa309]

I picked up my Bandit 600 this weekend. I know most of you don't like them but should be powerful enough for now coming from a 125. I wasn't too keen on the red text on the tank when looking at the pics on Ebay but it doesn't look too bad in person.

I was looking online at accessories for it and as the brake lever has had the little ball bit snapped off (would presume it was dropped but doesn't appear to be any other damage), I decided to check out the brake levers and noticed the different colors and wondered if it would look good with red brake and clutch levers along with red bar ends. Also wondered what red rim tape would look like so did a bit a photoshopping and this is what it'll look like (red rim tape I didn't do so well obviously).

Just want opinions on it.

Anodised tat and rimtape.

You've got bandit ownership nailed

If you like 'em, go for it!
It's your bike, do what you want to do to it, not what others tell you!
Following the crowd is, rarely, the right option!
Your only problem will be, you will have to contend with the BCF sticker police, who've already made an appearance in this thread!

Ultmately do what you like on the bike, bollucks to what other people think.

Personally, as you asked - red on silver only looks good on black bikes.

Silver looks best left i'd say. Or risk it all and chrome everything

Did you buy it to ride, or to admire in your garage?
If the former, save your money, buy petrol and tyres instead.
If the latter... Well, who was that chap that built a submarine out of old car tyres and called it art? There ain no accounting for taste, and if you think it makes your garage look pretty, all that matters really... personally I think the pile of old tyres would probably look better... but then I already have half such a sculpture as view from my kitchen window... though utterly unintensional... mere by-product of having different tyres for road and off-road for the Rangie!

I don't think it looks too bad, my idea behind it was mainly to accompany the red text on the tank. I wasn't too keen on the red text when looking at pics of it but has grown on me since seeing it in person and would cost quite a bit to get it removed and changed to black text or something.

The red doesn't look too bad against the black handle bars/grips but just wanted to know what other people thought of it, and maybe suggestions on what to go for? Should I stick with the silver levers?

I thought you'd photoshopped the red tank text on

My advice would be remove the red decal, save yourself money buying various red bits to accompany it, and buy this
