any reason you don't want to return to factory colours?

Do a google image search on custom sportsbike paint schemes, or late model superbike schemes etc, when something jumps out at you, adjust it to fit the lines of your 954

I think one of the best colors in the sport bike world is the titanium color scheme on the 954...

Damn amazing ^. Man I seen one for sale last month I think around my way. VERY hard to not hit the savings acct for that one. Not to mention I always wanted, no I WILL have one some day.

Welcome to the forum. Yea a quick google search will yield a myriad of options. Cheers

The titanium color makes a lot of sense .. And I saw this on Google but how do I darken the lights?

I'm sure it's just tint. But why would you want to darken your headlights? Most people want them brighter....

those are just a tinted lens cover - they act as a stone gaurd to prevent your headlight getting smashed. You can get them in clear for a purely protective reason, or tinted, for a partly asthetic reason.

Youll probably find them on Ebay for about $40
