Default Quick photoshop if bike paint job I'm looking at doing

I've got my bike tore down right now fixing the fairings and repainting them. The bike was yellow and I'm wanting to change the color to white. I'm also hoping to get some airbrushing done as well. I'm not a flames guy, so I thought I'd go with some black wisps of smoke from the front. What do you think?

Ya, the airbrushing is going to go more straight back, I couldn't get photoshop to do it the way I really wanted, but I want the dark black wisps of smoke like that, just going back instead of that curvy. I'm thinking about doing a little on the tail as well.

Here is a better idea of what I kinda want. Whiter obviously - can't get photoshop to get any whiter and keep the shading right.

I like your idea. I favor the first pic but any version of it still is unique & appealing. Maybe powder coat the wheels black to finish the look.

Ya, I plan to do the wheels black as well, would like the brame to be black too, but wanna get he fairings done and get it running right. Wasn't able to drive it at all last year cause it was tore down. Anxious this year.

i've been working on a composite vector of the f4i body lately - here it is with a smoke pattern laid over it.

regener8ed, I love yours - the brushes I found I cant get to look right, at least from that I'm picturing in my head. I'm waiting to talk to my painter to see what he thinks will look good and what not. I'm definitly going to show him yours though. Thanks.
