Smile Color Advice - Tape Works & Rim Tape

Hey Guys and Gals,

I'm no artist or claim to be but I need some help picking out a color for my bike. I'm going to be picking up some rim tape and wings from Tape Works and need some advice on what color would look the best on my 06 Pearl Yellow/Metallic Titanium paint scheme. Right now I'm leaning towards gloss white since some of the stock stickers came with that color. I'm open for all color opinions.

Ty
Moses

P.S. Please refrain from commenting on my 1337 paint shop skillz (Ok go ahead if you must)

Yellow would be the obvious choice, but I highly agree with white. It would flow nicely within the scheme.

^^agreed^^ I think either yellow or white would be good choices. Tho white would set you apart from most bikes out there.

The white looks good, and your photoshop skills are better than most of the MS Paint jobs we usually see!

Just a update for you guys. I ended up not ordering the wings or rim tape from Tape Works. Instead I decided to remove the wings off my fairings and I must say I'm really happy with the end result

That looks a lot better IMO. For my taste, I believe it would look even better if it could be removed from the tank as well.
