Default Should I paint my swing arm BLACK or leave it Bright ORANGE? lol

Hey guys so I admit I have a weird looking 600RR. I was in a rush to buy a bike and just got this one without thinking haha. Some people say its a Bad *** bike and that it looks really good. Some people how ever make fun it. It has blue Movistar fairings with Orange Rims and swing arms. I was looking and it cost like $200 to paint it so I was just thinking of buying Repsol Plastics. Let me know what you think.

I like it! It looks sharp and stands out from the herd.

Personally, I think the question is, "Should I upgrade the yellow graphic details on the bike to orange?" That would unify the theme.

Hmm yeah like MadHattr said, I think if you got the graphics to that bright orange that would be real sharp.

I think it looks cool. I agree it would be even better with orange decals

I personally like the repsol fairings better. But it looks good how it is.

In answer to your question I think I would paint the swing arm black if you were to leave it as is.

I think its a bit much but ive never liked loud colors. In the end it comes to what you like.

If you like it keep it and tell the haters to STFU.
If you dont like it do what YOU want to it and still tell the haters to STFU. lol

If you paint the swingarm black the rims will stand out more, depends on what you want standing out.

Nice bike btw, not my thing (bright colors) but I can still appreciate it.
