I was def thinking some black in there too, as my gear is red/white/black. maybe filing in the wings with black or something along that sort.

As for the rim stripes in red, they are already on the bike. I also have red bar ends, bolts, grips the only thing that dosent match so far is the old shock (its yellow XD)

I'm going to update it tonight as that was like 35 min all together so ill give it a bit more work make a few different kinds, I had just been working on something for someone else and the idea just came into my head.

It looks really good. I like it a lot, but I think the angles of the lines on the tail do not match the angles of the lines on the side fairings. I understand its a wing, but maybe it needs a little black to pronounce that OR adjust the lines a little to stream-line it with the tail angles.

I got 6-way adjustable shorty levers($60 shipped) and front footpegs(both anodized red) for sale. Both are new. Pegs $30 shipped. Let me know.

i dont think ive heard this idea yet but if u wanna add black to it try a black pin stripe outside of the red design.... should give it a nice pop but not take away from the red/white combo... .just my 2 cents

looks pretty good man.... few comments tho...

that white patch between the upper and the side fairing looks to big to me.... looks like some paint or something needs to be thrown in there to take up some of that space (but maybe thats just me)

also u need black rear sets..... so why not just buy mine lol jk

btw dig the cf can... dry pcing the mid black (in the pic) i think thatd look ba ha
