Question Paint color advice

I'm about to paint my 95 F3 (97 fairings) flat white. I'm also going to try to put in some semi-flat black to give it some contrast. I know that I'm painting the gas cap S/F Black, my windshield is as dark as it gets, my wheels are black(needs touching up), black(little bit of red) grips, black seat, and I'm getting some smoked flush mount signals. Oh and red rim tape. I don't really want the bike to be like totally white since all the fairings and seat cover will be white. So any other ideas would be awesome. Maybe the vent pieces?

Are you going to put any decals on or are you going for the white sheep look?

I was thinking the honda decal along the bottom, but I hadn't thought of any tank ones. That's a good idea actually. And the white sheep look is exactly what I'm trying to avoid haha

Well don't paint the vent pieces black. If you did add the black rims, seat, windshield, and turn signals. Can you say mad cow.

The vent cover have you thought about attaching silver mess to the inside?

Exactly haha. Trying to find a middle ground. All white with black here and there. The only thing I'll actually be painting black is the gas cap. So some tank decals would be kinda nice. What's with the farm-talk? haha

Mesh you mean? And no I have not. Would that look good with the white? and black?

Ever wake-up with the tv on, going what the heck is this crap. Only to lay there and watch it half asleep. I did that today and can't get it out of my head. Still don't know what it was, fell back to sleep.
