    Help me decide

    I recently had my bike painted while I was on the west coast for work and I need a little help... A friend of mine does vinyl decal work and we want to do something with the bike but I need some ideas... This was before the fresh paint. The bike is now all gloss black with a red windscreen, sliders, and swingarm spools. Any ideas would be great

    so this going to be another one of those "it's not the way i would customize my bike, therefore it's wrong" threads.

    note he asked what he should do for vinyl wraps on the bodywork. never at any point did he mention swingarm chances.

    i award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.

    Re: I NEED HELP

    check out bikeskinz.com they can also do custom designs. But if you have a friend that does vinyl maybe just look at their facebook page and get an idea of the custom work they've done for others for inspiration.

    Do nothing, keep it all black and untagged.
    Or maybe, one, fine red pinstripe might work somewhere.

    I dont know if the red frame slider works for me (too obvious) but when I see the photos I was thinking blackish flames? Something that wouldnt really stick out but would add a nice touch when someone took a close look at it.

    Not unhappy... just figured that was enough so I cleaned up the thread to keep it on track.

    I mean, people were pig piling on this guy for a friggin swingarm. Like so many others have said... This is "New England STREET Riders".... and plenty of people have ext. swingarms on their street bikes.

    I bought the bike the way it was in the first picture so it was already stretched and slammed.. The only thing I had done was cut the can down. I know the frame sliders really stand out but I wanted to go with red and black. The vinyl will most likely be a darker red like the wheel stripes and i'm doing red seats and having the exhaust powder coated black. I was also thinking about doing red led's in the fairings. I like the pinstripe idea and i'm also gonna check out number plates.

    Re: Help me decide

    My brother in law has the same exact bike with basically the same scheme - except all carbon fairings....He has polished rims with red hubs/spokes (stockers, just refinished) that he is looking to sell if you're interested....

    His red bits are - passenger seat, chain gaurd, windscreen, and red carbon mirrors....Little touches here and there...I like it...I'm not diggin' your red sliders, makes those the center of attention rather than the bike...

    Nobody likes minimalist/simple looks anymore? I love the all black bikes with no fancy graphics like some of the Ducatis. Even this bike looks cool to me with no decals on it. I must be living in a different time/world.

    Nope, I much prefer that style too. I want my hooligan toys to be as inconspicuous as possible. Subtle > flashy
