again - sorry to be blunt
HOWEVER - ever thought of asking a professional spray painter to take your idea and "improve" it?:

Don't discard the concept on the basis of a few negative replies here. You obviously fancy something like this and it's what appeals to you, not others, that counts. :)

Painting bikes is a nice way of customising and if its good ,,a head turner,
From what i have seen most of the fine detail,stripes,arrows etc seem to be stickered on.
I would like to paint mine but thats another thing.

If you post up the origional pic and maybe a couple of other views of the bike I could do some 'shop mockups for you. Any other colour schemes you're interested in?
if you're bored

I like the concept too, a similar to the RD500 Marlboro colours of yesteryear. :D
Only thing I'd say is the bike needs full fairing to get full effect and then I have never seen a gen 1 fairing that looks good :rolleyes

Would leave it as it is though. Looks nice and grey colour doesn't easily get stained.

I think you should go with what you want not others make it yours you will always find thoose who don't like it (usally stock bike riders) and thoose who love it (modders) in the end its your project make it as subtle or whacky as ya want
Very true man!!
You never know when your idea is the leader, then its yours.

I went my own way with my ZX7R and it turned out ok. I do like a well modded bike and there seems to only be a few who do it on here so I will join the minority :)

Your design reminded me of my old 250LC with it's red and white colours. Not suggesting you you copy it (although feel free!!), but may help with ideas, even if it helps you to decide not to do something.
