Hey nick, look up the member on here named 'airbrush'. Do a search for him. He custom painted his bike himself and did a fantastic job.  :thumb:
Richard died in a motorcycle accident that was at no fault of his own.  We lost a good friend and good member of this board.  Though Rich may be gone, his legacy will live on here.

I went to look up Antibody's bike and he's no longer on our memberlist!!

Blue sells better, that's why Yamaha switched to blue to up their sales of bikes; yellow doesn't sell (although the anniversaries are), and white/red didn't sell (not to mention the terrible graphics).

Red is the second best seller.  But, red is an intimidating color on the racetrack, it's the color of danger, a rider behind a red bike is sublimminally distracted by the red and cannot concentrate enough on the track.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

yeah but black and silver is for true racers, look at the most hooked up cars, their usually black with dark tinted windows and all that neon crap.

yes like you said... all that neon crap... all that extra weight must sure make the car go super fast  :laugh:

I always laugh at ricers that dish out the big bucks to get carbon fibre hoods and hatches and everything carbon fibre they can get to save on weight to 'make it go faster' and then turn around and drop more weight in stereo equipment in there than they saved in carbon fibre... Didn't really gain anything now did they?

Oh and just by the way nick, most ppl go for silver or shades of it, because scratches don't appear as obviously on those colors and the paint appears to remain clean for a longer time. And black is a good accenting color for silver.

Yea, Antibody's bike is awesome.  By far the best paint I've seen on a GS:


Alphamazing

Holy crap, that's awesome! Now if it was done with the orange a blue color, the white a dark silver or black, and the dark silver a red... mmmmmmmm gorgeous

I'm thinking:
Orange to Red
White to a light silver
silver to charcoal

That's a really nice paintjob!! Personally I think it would look better in RED  :icon_lol:

I really like the triple-tree top with the dummy lights built into it, but I'm not too fond of the location and angle of the tach in the first pic, but it looks a bit better in the second pic with the fairing installed... but what about the speedo?
