I hate when I mess up a paint job.

darn colorblind chinese soldered wrong color wires in place, once swapped around they work.

These darn cheap ass $49/pair LED lights didnt work when I went to wire them up - should have checked when I got them and before clipping connectors off to wire them up

I get what I PAY FOR - but I paid about $100 for the one on my fender and didnt want to spend another $200 for taillights.

Real paint on that photoshop pattern will look real nice. More importantly one of a kind.

Here I colorized it a bit to show what I was thinking...
John

Yeah I think that would look pretty good!

I could go either way on the lowers.

But it aint my bike!

[jwhughes3]

Here is a Don Vesco with a similar pattern, different color.



Think orange


I dont know about two tone lowers though.

John

[natemoen]

Don't know how large the side areas are but that doesn't look too bad.

[jcchappy]

Bikes looks awesome. I need to get started on mine.

[jwhughes3]

What about something like this?



My crude painting skills is just to visualize the idea...

[natemoen]

I am just talking about the smaller center section of the lid, almost looks louvered in the pic.

I also think that since your primary color already is the orange, then if you went almost all ivory of the fairing it might look out of balance. I think It might be better to stay with the orange as the main color on the fairing and the ivory as the accent.

Does look good so far though!

[jwhughes3]

Nate the more I think about it the more I agree. I plan on using my Don Vesco fairing on this one in ivory maybe with orange accents only - I think the ivory trunk will balance it well.



John

[natemoen]

Do the ivory on the raised section of the lid.

[jwhughes3]

With unfinished Givi trunk in place

I have not yet decided if I want to stripe this or redo it in ivory instead to lighten up the bike and make it more visible, although the trunk itself adds more visibility.
