Way too sweet!  I like I like!

You guys are too much... I will be working on my bike more than riding it soon!  Course I enjoy that almost as much!  :thumb:

Very cool looking :thumb: and you did a great job on that pic.
I personally love orange bikes almost as much as Saturn Black ;)
I do agree with Pablo on the S on the fender. Michelin man would be cooler IMO.
Have you tried reversing the white and orange on the tail? That way you keep the orange pointing up and the white pointing down. I do not know if it would be much better but maybe.

Actually no, I never tried reversing it. I can't really explain how to change the colors and keep the shading. I don't have a week to type this out, but all I can say is I played around, thats what I did for a while. Cut out the parts you wish to change and create layers that you can take on and off. The color change is simply changing the pigment and keeping all the black in it.  :thumb:

*orange* helmet... have seen some around, a couple on e-bay

Looks great. I love the retroish style.

I wonder if you could get them to paint your helmet to match at the same time? That would complete the look!

It probably messes with the safety properties. :(

Maybe you'd like to offer some constructive criticism? What don't you like about it? is it a color choice issue maybe, or is there a better graphic layout of the colors in your opinion?

What makes it rancid to you?

Don't worry Pablo, he's just a Canadian.  :mrgreen:  :nana:

All joking aside, It's not a subtle scheme. I figured it would be a love or hate sorta thing. Thats just the first hate.

Thats cool. He can think what he does about it but I am seriously curious about why he (or anyone else) might not like it...specifically so that they might provide you with a certain objective critique. You can take it or leave it but it would be interesting to me to hear specific reactions...

Enjoy your paint colour.  I'm just not a fan of bright orange.

You have every right to like anything you want.  The question you posed was what do you think of the new paint, not tell me how much you love my paint.

So, Pantablo:  perhaps it was a bit short, but that's me.

ANtibody:  Enjoy your rancid paint :mrgreen:

That paint scheme is cool. I always have liked orange. In fact, it was an orange GS500E on my university campus I saw one day that turned me on to this bike. I can't wait to see the finished job on it!

MrSpike118

I def like it.  Def. Post a pic of it when it is done!

Arpee

The colors are definately Antibody...check the avatar... ;)
Now, about the 'S' on the fender...the old Katana's had that 'S' on the tank...perhaps it would fit there a little better.  Just seems like the fender should be clean.   My .02 worth.
GS500E....back where it all began....again.

C V Man

Ok, here's mine...

...I like it too!

I wouldn't change a thing.
The grab handle being silver just adds to the effect!

IMO painting it white would "blur" the effect.

Good job!
