I think it is easy to overkill on colors, there is a decal on ebay that is just a giant honda wing that goes from the front of the bike almost to the tank, i think it looks good.

get your wheels powdercoated orange. and find misc. parts you can get orange. ****'ll look pimp when you're done

kinda balance out the black with orange.

Careful with custom paint and patterns. It can be a real love/hate affair. Loved by the owner and hated by everyone else. As much as you may want to stand out from the crowd, clean and polished is never wrong. If you had watched the Barrett Jackson auction and seen how people reacted(with their check book)to the custom paint jobs on some of the cars you would know what I mean.

black with and large orange honda wing would probably looks good. I'm not a fan of crazy *** paint jobs. You have to take into account that for some reason if you damage the paint in the future the more detail the paint scheme the more its going to cost to fix it again.

i seen a bike at a show with a camoflauge scheme going on...it was blue with blue and it looked nuts, from a distance i thought the bike was all f$#%ed up and crashed but when i got close it looked nuts, i wish i had pics of it...but whatever you decide to go with, make sure ur happy with it because you're gonna have to live wit it.

dude you can get a real nice finish with some dupli-color spray paint and clear coat. you just have to put the effort in.

sanding is key IMO

i can get a pic if you want...
