Black or Yellow ?

Sprocker · Oct 27, 2008

Right guys i'm after a bit of feedback for my bike colour...so please be honest :eatcorn but gentle :biggrin

A little while back I really fancied spraying my bike totally black, and milleboy82 did a photoshop mock-up of what it could look like.

Mock-up black

Bike as it was..

As it is now with black bellypan.

Much as I love the yellow, after my highside earlier in the year some of the panels still require a proper sprayjob to get it fully sorted again back to it's previous pristene condition, but I couldn't afford to do it so I resprayed the bellypan with Satin black with Halfords paint (surprisingly good finish if i say so myself :biggrin)see last pic.

I think it would look good doing it all Satin black, but am just a bit scared if I fcuk it all up :roll.

So...my quandry is...do I go for it or not :dunno

Added a pole ...

Personally sprocker squire, I like the yellow and black contrast you have going on as the bike is, so my vote would go for staying as you are :thumbup

Highside? That must of been before my time sir, either that or you kept it most very quiet indeed :devious

Keep it yellow :thumbup

You know its the fastest colour :nana

Boyler · Oct 27, 2008

definately YELLOW Sprocks .............. :thumbup

Besides, I think BLACK might be a little too fast for ya :devious :biggrin

cheesy1 · Oct 27, 2008

keep the yellow & black
Maybe fit a later tank then detail the bottom section black ?

LEGS · Oct 28, 2008

Sprocker, definately keep it yellow. If it was mine, with the money i'd get a genuine carbon front mudguard, carbon under seat panels, carbon rear hugger and carbon heel guards. The black and yellow contrast would be awsome

supertedlover · Oct 28, 2008

Sprocks as it is yellow and black with the carbon :drool like legs says :thumbup:done

Sprocker · Oct 28, 2008

I'm confused with the poll, theres six of you who've posted said either yellow or yellow/black combo but on the vote theres three for black three for yellow/black :confused

I did the bellypan black to try and slow me down Boyler :biggrin

Interesting idea cheesy, would that involve much modification or would it be a straight swap :dunno and do you think it would look better ?

Ummm... Boyler, bestist mate and obviously the fastest rider with the most beautiful bike :biggrin if your reading this what would these bits cost me... :devious

If i knew how to use photoshop i could colour in the panels and mudguard to see what it looked like :roll I usually print off a picture the bike in yellow then colour it in but it's not the same really is it :biggrin

Gotta be silver fella.

1 to match that gorgous pipe

If a proper colour isn`t an option then go with the yellow. Looks far better than Ghostrider look a likeee:thumbup

Forgot to add sprocker, go back to the orginal silver bellypan as it was in picture 2, but with the carbon bits.

frecheness · Oct 28, 2008

keep it black with small yellow stickers, the little stickers make it go faster!

pointer rsv · Oct 28, 2008

keep it original but as said do the carbon bits starting to change mine got the hugger and chaian guard on order with boyler. at a very good price i might add

Last yellow bike I had was my brand new 1977 400/4 F2. Do like the song says, paint it blaaaack (see crap pics in my garage for inspiration).

Mr_Chow · Oct 28, 2008

I like the black belly pan...and i think all black would be cool, but only if you have a black headlight cover to go with it!

Black or Yellow ?
