thank you to all, i am glad that some people like it. i am loving it right now and am all geared up for bike week in daytona. you can not tell from the pics but when i painted it i laid a silver base coat and then the orange on top so there is a hint of silver flake through out the whole bike. i am going to hold off on the decals for a little bit, but when i get them on there i will be sure to post up some pics.

Agree. The monotone paint jobs just don't look right to my eye. I like the red and black better, but I'm biased, since that's what I have.

The red slider is okay with the red and black, but clashes with the orange. Change it to black.

Quality of the paint looks good, tho.

I also don't like the orange much. Not gonna hate on it... just like the red/black better.

You might get more fans of the orange with some good black decals to add some contrast.

I like it... and I normally don't like orange colored vehicles, so I would say good job. I do agree that it needs more work - like the red bits gone and as someone already stated, something black to break it up. Just take your time and do it right. And do what you like.

I did like the before, too, though. Mine is the blue and black, which I think the blue or red are the best looking.

good choice on the stock exhaust, too. btw, I think a polished frame would look kick-@$$ with that metallic orange... just sayin'.

First let me warn you I A WEIRDO. The car side of me likes the orange, nice clean and "shaved" just like I like my cars. But for some reason when it comes to bikes I turn kind of rice(Decals,lights, loud exhuast), so I like the first one with the factory decals.

I'm in the process of painting mine black but I'm waiting on my seat cowl. LOL and I going with no decals at all other then a tank, and gas cap sticker. But I will have some LEDS around <<<<<<<SEE TOLD YOU I WAS WEIRD

I like the orange. Its custom. You won't see any other F4i's like it. I shows that you take a lot of pride in your ride. Don't get me wrong I like the red and black too but this way you will stand out and be seen. Congrats on it. My bike is in the paint shop right now. I'll post pics when its all done.
