I was THIS close to getting a silver/blue before I picked up my white/silver and was ready to swap out the silver mid for a black one immediately as it was the only color scheme flaw I found in the blue scheme. I photoshopped a black mid into a pic and confirmed my choice of what I had wanted to do.

Before it came to that though, I found the white/silver. I've noticed tons of people swapping the 07black/red's mid for a black one, which also makes sense, but have yet to find a blue/silver wanting to swap for a black mid. Anyways, here's the pic before I delete it off my PC:

Blue/Silver:





I was kicking the idea of a red/black, too, and shopped a black mid in case anybody wants a quick reference pic:

 

I like the black mid on the red/black but i think I'd keep the silver on the blue/silver.. just my taste i guess but both look good

 

hmmm... interesting

Its growing on me

 

Painted Blue lower with black mid would look sick...errrrrrrrrrrrr IMO

 

Oh the ideas going around in my head.....

 

Good idea mang..

 

Being a Blue/Silver owner, I don't think I'd do this.

I can see the legitimacy of doing the swap for black mids on a red/black bike, because the silver mid is a 'non naturally occuring' color on that scheme; there are no other painted silver parts. (I'm not counting the mid-pipe heat shield since it's not painted) Therefore, the replacing of the silver with a black part makes sense.

But on the blue/silver model, silver is an integral part of the color scheme; a naturally occurring color. So I don't think it's a 'need to do' swap. I think that it's an acceptable swap if you're into it, but it's not something I think I'd go to any financial or physical effort to accomplish. (if someone threw a set in front of me for free, I'd keep both colors on hand and change them occasionally for the heck of it)

=)

I will add, IF the bottom fairing was color matched blue, and the heat shield for the mid-pipe was either black or replaced with a C/F version, then I would probably be ALL OVER swapping the silver out for black immediately at that point.

I think the silver side fairings on the blue/silver bike looks better than the black. A blue painted lower would look SICK with the silver sides.
