I like the stripe. It balances the colors alittle more. You did a very good job! I also like the little bit on chrome on your bike too.

Dao, you know I was actually inspired by your bike. When I saw yours with the same paint scheme, I was at first confused as to why yours looked so much better. Then I finally noticed the red wheels. Some prior owner obviously had that done, and probably because the stock scheme with the gray wheels is pretty boring at the bottom. The color is all on the top and it doesn't seem balanced like some of the other schemes do. I figured the stripes would distribute some red accent color more evenly around the bike and make it look more of a single piece. I love it. These guys with the white wheels also have that going for them.

And here I was thinking yours looked better! I like the red rims but not sure I'd have put them on there. No mistaking me for anyone else around here though. Or anywhere else I suppose. Damn I really have to behave don't I?

16 x 9 - But I notice that direct sunlight makes the camera see some red as orange. The color above is much truer.
