Default Design opinions?

well after a little help from irish12designs with doing the black and gold to get me motivated i added in all the carbon fiber parts ive bought and plan on buying and the wing and cbr decals up front. sooo im not entirely smitten with the scheme, or at least as much as i first thought id be unfortunately but im sure itll look better in person and ill probably love it once i get everything on. Just looking for a general consensus at least as far as the decals, that gold around the windscreen, and the wheels go. sooo all opinions and ideas welcome...

edited- removed the cbr logo from up front and added my exhaust and some turn signals to make it a little more accurate.

yeah ive always been a big fan of it and had that scheme in mind since i first got the bike but i wanted to do a little more than just slap on gold accessories. The carbon fiber and teh gold around the windscreen helps a little though. Not sure if ill actually have that painted on there but im starting to like it so maybe.

It looks fine, I like it.

If anything, it may look a little too stock? But that doesnt mean thats bad.

well thats all i need to know.

as far as too stock looking i may do carbon fiber lowers as well and have been talking to a guy that will make them for me, i bought lightech carbon fiber mirrors, and ive got some other stuff too but ive never really been one for crazy gaudy over the top looks. Ive always preferred clean and subtle looks so i think the gold and black is a good balance between the two.
