Default It needs more white...

Ok, so my stunt bike is like 99.9% done... And I just got my rear rim back from powder coating. So I love the look, but I feel like it needs more white now.

I'm thinking doing a white drivers seat should be re upholstered...

Other options for more white on the bike are:

Freestyle crash cage...
OMR subcage...
12 bar...
Dirt bike bars...
Sub frame...
Air box...

So, what do you think? What else should go white?! And if someone with photoshop skills wants to do some editing, I'd be stoked.

I would do all the accents in white, like cage, 12 bar, rear sets, etc. The downside is those are the parts your gonna be scrapin up.

Sorry about the poor resolution. Imageshack isn't uploading correctly atm...

But the wheelie looks good... got my weight nice and far behind the rear tire on that one. Still working on slowing em down.

looks good...maybe you could do the dented part of the tank in white somehow but the seat in white would be good until it got all dirty

ORIGINAL: Ruthless

Don't think I could pull that one off... all the plastics and the tank area actually covered with Line-x. (rhino liner truck bed stuff). Looks amazing in the sun.

Between the line-x and the body style... most people have no idea what my bike even is. Most people guess buell.

Was thinking either front seat & airbox...

or

Cage, subcage, 12 bar.

pixel6,
How do you like that line-x? I'm thinking of doing it on my bike. Do you have any regrets? or suggestions?

I cut my plastics down, so I had some sample pieces I could practice with. Got em all prepped, and sprayed em with Plasti-Kote. Got it sprayed... and looked beautiful! Then scraped my thumb nail back to the original finish on one pass lol.

STAY AWAY FROM THE CHEAP ****!

I then took it to LINE-X of Boulder. And had a pro do it with the real stuff. Other than the gas tank, he wrapped the plastic pieces 360 degrees, all the way around. The truck bed liner stuff can peel off of plastic since the plastic flexes. By wrapping it all the way around, the line-x adheres to itself, and will never come off.

The difference between line-x, and rhino liner, is that line-x is more of a hardened plastic finish, where rhino liner is a bit rubbery. LINE-X is the only way to go if you want to do this.

Fitment will be a pain, since the stuff is nearly an eighth of an inch thick. So be prepared to wrestle your plastics a bit.

Regrets? None. People google over my bike all day long and it makes me pretty proud to have something that is a true eye catcher.

Here's the current look... with a bit more white =)
