Title: Getting ready to paint/Cover Idea?
Post by: DarkCyDE on June 17, 2005, 05:48:19 PM
Well I am getting ready to paint again. This time I am tying up some of the loose ends before I start. Never really like that hole with wires sticking out of it. I built some side covers out of lincane and dont know if I want to paint them to match the bike? Chrome them? or find another idea all together. anyone want to chime in with Ideas, comments or suggestions? please excuse the pin lines, this one is more or less scrap as I cut too much out in one spot. but you should be able to get the Idea.

all these people look at it and have no oppinion?
come on guys! I have atleast figured out that it needs to go the same color of either the frame or body work. Come on tho, give it to me. good, bad whatever!

It follows the lines of the tank and fairing, so I vote paint the same color as those.

Cheers,

Thanks, good to see out of 32 people viewing it, one atleast had some input!

Yeah, I see what you mean about the matching it to the tank and bodywork.

Thanks!

I vote black.  I usually do small stuff like that black, mostly because I don't like matching colors and......I'm not a big fan of chrome *gasp*  

It would match the frame, also.

make it black, it could show the tank and fairing better.

I cut some new ones and made them conform to the shapes better but I am still not sure about the whole thing. Half temped to see what the diamond type looks like (front of ricers car, diamond cut metal) Not sure if I even like the holes at all really. anyone else do anything to cover that area of the bike?
Would love some different ideas if anyone has any
