It doesn't show very well in this photo, but the speed blocks are carbon effect.
Very like the colour scheme Yamaha did on the XJR SPs - they also did that in red and black, which I always thought looks good.

Here's two colour schemes that I did on some RD's I had. The mellow yellow was originally silver and the red and white one is a copy of the earlier TZ Yamahas.
I wouldn't say that the colourways and design are going to give you anything unique.
The Roberts style flat tracker does look neat though. As does Nicks bike, and to some extent Gassitt's. I will say that, from experience, that particular attention need to be paid to designs that flow across all bike panels as lines need to flow and be balanced. I've seen some awful renditions of the speed block design that just don't work.

now there is no silver on the bike at all apart from pipe and fork stanchions, everything is powder coated black and along with King Kennys signature on the tailpiece it really sets off the classic speedblock
