    Hey all, Im in the process of getting my bike painted, tank and fenders, Im doing gloss black, maybe metallic, and Im also gonna paint the forks and possible grab bar. I was wondering what you all thought, should I do the forks and grab bar red? would it look good. What about forks red and grab bar stay the same as it is. or Forks black with the rest of the bike?. Any thoughts?

    If not in a super hurry, upload a good sized picture to photobucket (or pm me for my email) of the side view (or any decent view where you want to check the color schemes and all the parts are visible.

    Let me know 2 or 3 paint schemes and I could ROUGHLY color them out in photoshop.

    I need to take new pics of my bike and figure out how much/which parts I want to black out...

    Some quick mock ups. Obviously you can get carried away with the red or just add highlights here and there... I kinda like the idea...
