I'm digging the white. But I think I like the Black better if the rims were say a darker shade. I wouldn't do flat black either. I'd have the windscreen smoke(Light tint).

Not sure about the tranny cover. And my question about that is would that get hot and chip the paint? Maybe a powder coat or I'd hate to say it but possibly a Carbon Fiber cover?

Just throwin ideas out.

As for the Carolina Cycle Center. Do you plan to put that on there? If so I'd make it a little more bold. Almost like a racing sponsor and possibly across the bottom or up the fairing.

My bike is an 05 and the image Im using in planning the paint job is an o4 whichI stuck an 07 front end on.

This is going to be a track only bike with aftermarket bodywork. You really don't wanta tinted shield on a track bike. I think dark screens makea bike look taller, and anyway, you do not see through them as well in a tuck,. Especially with a tinted hlemet visor.

As to the mat finish, track riders look for the edge and sometimes find it. Body work gets rashed. Mat is easier to match after a fiberglass repair.

I'll post another image to show you why my company logo is the size it is later today.

The gold is because the magnesium rims Im scavanging from another project are gold already.
and the case covers on an 05are kinda gold from the factory

I'm liking the black better, but the white would be nice for somebody with a street bike.

Photoshop is an Adobe product and is 650ish. It also requiresa sizableinvestment of your time to gain minimal skills. There are some pretty good tutorial podcasts on photoshop.
I have used photoshop for a few years.....amazing program, and I have still only scratched the surface.

There are alot of tutorials online, but your right you have to invest a lot of time....

Heres a large logo. The fairing's slots's make the graphics kinda wonky.

I'm digging the large HONDA at the bottoma nd the CBR on back. The wings on tank I think could be a little bit bigger.

As for the Logo. With it being a track bike will those slots be gone? If so then the large Logo for sure. If not then maybe the smaller logo.

I agree the white for the street woudl be nice.

Or you can chrome your entire bike and blind your opponents.

Brother go black! That looks great. Not a big fan of paint style changes on bikes, but very nice. Bikes are radical enough without the graphic bs, that looks cool. Shoot it.
