The red accents definitely look great!

Is it me, or is the lower front fairing repainted?

yeah it is painted....well the side fairings were silver but i painted them all black cuz the silver stood out too much...looked a little bland for my taste...

No offense, but the bike looks like it was wrecked and the owner didn't have the cash to fix it.  Not my style.  Then again, I turned my 05 F into an E.

I'm not feeling the plain black fairing.  The paint on it looks like it was hurriedly done.. other than that though it's not bad.

I assume it's all rimtape. I did the same with my left over rimtape but it looks tacky on a naked bike.

IMO he did a good job.

I kinda like it. Makes me think of TRON or Knight Rider. I think the lower fairings need a little more gloss so they blend in better with the rest of the body work. It might be a camera/lighting angle thing though.

Man, I love TRON bikes.   I bought the anniversary edition of the movie and have all the design pics.  I wish I could make one of em.
that would be so sweet.

biggest problem is that the front wheel is a sphere.   but if I could I'd make just a replica.  how cool (nerd) would that be to see a TRON bike blasting down the highway at night.

I am such a nerd.

Maybe they meant it as constructive criticism?  Or, it's just their opinion.  In which case, no offense should be taken.

I like it, IMO.

wow thats for all the replies....im glad you like it.... and yeah that is rim tape on the bike....not just on the wheels....the side fairings are going to get redone in black and red.....the red will be on the chin area towards the bottom....more of a two tone look....didnt have enough clearcoat that day to finish....as of now i painted my chainguard and heelplates red to match....but thats it...and i cant get my bar ends back on so im riding without them lol

Well I can appreciate anyone doing custom work, keep it up.  I hope my original post didn't seem negative...though I think it did.

Scratch hit the nail on the head...I really wasn't trying to be offensive.  I simply gave what my first impression of the bike was.  Take it or leave it.   :flipoff:

The red accents are nice, but the lower fairings not matching the upper fairings (or the stripe on the tank) looks kinda ghetto.  I'd spend a bit more time and/or money on paint and make it look more professional.  Then it will be  :thumb:.
