yes i agree the red is killer....quick Question (and im sure its a stupid one)  But when you mounted the braces for the plastics did you have the handle bars on or off...  Just because from the pictures it looks like if you put them on and tried to do a slow turn they might collied with each other..but thats just from the pictures.

go for red color. looks bad a$$

my vote is the red and black rims 

i love black or white, but based on your photoshopping, you should rock the red man

Are all the stickers necessary...I find most of them quite tacky. Go stickerless on the red and that thing would be totally badass!

Yes , go Ducati red ! What other option do you have?

No handlebars was mounted. I will mount clipons under the upper joke, so there will be plenty of clearence. The most critic clearence was the forklegs hitting the upper fairing on full turn, but that has ben checked also. 

Well, i also like the red with black rims. Actually the inspirations was the Cagiva GP 500 racer. The only concern for the red one is that maybe it will be to "ducatish". Don´t want it to look like a ducati replica, more like a race suzuki  . Have som other idés i will show you later..     

Cagiva 500 red. Cagiva stickers. John Kocinski's race number. EXCELLENT ....

  yes, man those two stroke monsters where killers, i think Randy Mamola also have driven one of those? Anyway, here´s some other more "suzukish" paintjobs! 



hmm, maybe i should do a little more work in the garage, and a little less in photoshop.. 

I'm a fan of the solid colors, myself. I think the two latest color schemes look too GSX-R.

By the way, curse you, curse you, curse you. This project just made me go to my tuner and order 748 bodywork for my SV500. It's gonna look bad-ass ...

Yeah, and solid colors whould be much easier to paint tho i´m planing to paint it my self. Good to hear that the project inspire someone! Promise you´ll show us the result! 

We should have the new bodywork on and painted for the first race of the year, Jan. 13. I'll post up some stuff - M

Solid Red, please. The impact the red / white wheels is awesome. The stripes are too busy, and trying to hard.

The red is _fantastic_.

Please keep the white wheels too.

If and when you get graphics cut for SUZUKI and the sponsors, please make sure you use the exact fonts the manufacturers do. Do a couple more photoshop sessions to make sure your sizes and placements look right. You may even want to hire a buddy to design it all up for you that has graphics experience. I'm not knocking your skills at all, you've got some great ideas, and looks like it will be gorgeous when you're done.

Any chance you've considered low boy dual exhausts ? Chrome lows reminescant of a killer 2 stroke might be too much, i'm trying to visualize it.

Really nice job so far. Keep us posted.

I agree! Have dumped the idéas with the complex multi color paintjobs and now aiming for a single solid color. I love white rims, had it on my gixxer, still you have to clean twice a day but..  I think my choices are down to what my original plan was: solid red with black (or white) rims or black with white (or light silver) rims. The graphics will be hand over for a graphic company, they basicly have standard suzuki setups in all kinds of sizes and colors.

Hope i´ll get some time in the garage this weekend, will post som progress later...

And yeah, here´s the black idéa..

Solid black =

haha, i was thinking the same thing. 

If this works, you should see the pics of my Ducati 748/916 bodywork on my Suzuki SV500. The guy who mounted it is an artist, I swear. It looks incredible ...
