purple, no wait black, no...purple
both look pretty good. I can't make up my mind. black, def black
b4 i even seen the pics i said to myself only purple would look good. so i would go purple.
but the black goes well with the decal on the tail, and the seat. so u must go black.
phack it, flip a quarter

I think purple, the black from a distance just looks like your seat, the purple breaks it up a little.

Thanks guys for commenting...

BTW, the actual seat on the bike has not been cut down yet...

I just took some white windows paint and painted the top of the seat...to blend in with the wall of the house in the background...

What I am getting at is the seat and everything will be nice and even...straight...not the way it looks in the pic...

You'll see....except for the scribbles shown above...I don't do things half a$$.

Hmmm...that looks cool.

I don't necessarily care for the flame effect...but the combination of doing something...

Nice idea...definitely something to consider.

Anyway, after the seat and cowl are situated..only thing left is the peg...rear-set mod.

Especially considering it's an F2, this thing will look pretty trick.

Didn't mean for it to look so much like flames but i was thinking something that would tie into the graphics that are alreadyon the bike..

OIC...

Either way, it's a good idea. Only on the top though....as painting the sides would make the whole tail section unbalanced since I removed the striping and 600-F2 decals.

Next weekend...too damp this weekend...I'm going to paint it....or at least start on it...

Right now...my bike is my main mode of transpo...so I have to mod it...while also using it to get back and forth to work.

The top of the cowl in the pic is also lighter on top to represent the sun glaring off the body work.
