They don't look all that clever in matt black, CM
go to www.bikepics.com - I think there are a couple in there.
Plenty of colours to choose from.............

Its a bit hard when going away from the stock color schemes I recon...
There are so many nice stock colors that I would have to think very very long and hard before leaving the stock ones...
If you really like red and black ....
check out this one ...its Napalm1000's baby....
I recon its the best version of red and black that honda has come up with ..
I know there is another scheme very similar to this where the black is hard up to the red with a defined line...I recon this one is way better though...

RE: Been a bit
Welcome back. Glad to see someone else who likes the foam grips. Not at all popular in Australia but I love them. I recovered my seat a few months ago too. How difficult did you find it or did you get it done? I found it a bit fiddly but not hard & surprisingly cheap. From memory $22.00 Australian plus staples. That gave me enough material to do the job twice.

I recovered the seat on my GPZ900R, Bluebeard, and once you figure out the correct 'starting point' it's actually quite easy. Took me about two hours and saved LOADS of dosh !

RE: Been a bit
I was thinking more along the lines of this except the black parts, the front fender, and grab rail all in matte black.
Just got bad news on the MRA screen.
I either try and find another place that can get it to me sooner or I have to wait 3-4 weeks to get it from twistedthrottle.

RE: Been a bit
Red/black combo always looks good. Matt black seems to be harder to keep clean on stuff like front fenders, though. That's a good pic - whose bike is it ?

Cheers Griffin.
Its been a labour of love with a bit of blood, sweat and tears thrown in to keep me on my toes.
CBR... Dunno about the white but do think it needs something to break all the red.... Anyone wanna have a play with photoshop, feel free... I'm up for ideas.
I'm thinking of a large CBR layered with silver on top of met black ( 3mm border )and having 1000 cut out along the bottom of the R and sticking it on the rear under pass seat area.
