Default New paint on my first bike

I just got this f4 and it was wrecked about 6 years ago and hasn't been on the rode since it was wrecked. It took me about a year since I got it in 2010, to get it running, and get all of the cosmetic pieces, but the bike is now in paint and I am going to add these graphics when it is done. I had the company that is making the graphics send me a pic of what it will look like on my f4 when it is all said and done. Only slight difference is my bike will be black and the one pictured looks a little on the navy blue side. Anyway tell me what you guys think. Any constructive criticisms welcome.

Congrats on getting it back to road-ready.

I think your bike will look great. As long as your happy, that's all that matters.

Enjoy!

Personally, I think flames on a bike are gay. If I get a bike that has flames on it, removing them will be my first mod.

But, its your bike. If you like it, then **** the haters. Right?

i take it you havent spent a fortune on fresh gleaming black paint? if the fairings could do with covering then why not.

However if the bodywork is nice, fresh gleaming black then i wouldn't put those flames all over it

Definitely not my style, but it definitely HAS style. Looks pretty awesome! Congrats on saving the bike! It definitely takes some perseverance and dedication to see a project like that through.

Congrats on gettin' her back on the road! My F4's just getting paint and stickers finished right now, too. Are those retro-reflective stickers, or regular? That flame scheme reminds me of something TapeWorks has.
