Well,

I got into having fun working on bike. What started out to be touching up small scratches turned into a paint fest!

I did this for the sides!
This will be for the windscreen:

I liked the blue highlights above the tag! Gotta love Florida though was Bright not a cloud in the sky. Just as I finish Downpour no clouds! ARGH The cover didn't keep moisture out


So, the questions are: Should I paint the mud gaurd behind the tag like the top? I want to paint the chain guard should I do Blue or Red? I'm getting CafeBoy's  solo cowl what color should I paint it. And Lastly what color should the grab rail be?

Thanks for the opinions!

Looks good, I wouldn't paint the mudguard. I think if you paint the solo cowl and grab bar blue you should bring the blue down onto the side plastics a little. It would tie the rear in with the front.

What I want to do for the rear fairing is have my two favorite Scriptures on the sides. Do you think having the Font in Blue will  tie it in nice?

This is my terrible photobucket Mock Up of if I did the mud gaurd.
EH?

Paint the cowl white.

free and pretty good, I find it easier to use than photoshop, and did I mention free?

I think the Chain Guard is going to be Blue!

i vote to paint the cowl white. probably because that's what i did and i like the way it came out. i'll take pics when the rain lets up! sheesh.

i vote white for the cowl also but if you really wanna go crazy you could do a cool pinstipe design in blue on it.

+1 for the pics 

Yes, the cowl is going to be White and I'm going to get some Blue Pinstripping to tie it in.  Now for the grab bar!

Thanks for the tips all!

Looks great.
Good job with the paint bro.

Well,

I just painted the chain guard and the piece under the tail. It is actually a closer blue than this picture shows!



With the Cowl. The black that you have going around it I wonder if I could do that in blue?

Mary.

The black strip is edge trim that sticks on so it don't scratch you seat or tail plastic. I have not seen it in any other color than black.

Darn! Wonder if I could paint it blue? DrinCruz can you take a picture from the side. I'm drooling about this cowl. And CafeBoy you can bet I'm gonna pic whore it all day long!

I got the two pieces done with clear coat tonight. Gotta get the guard back on this morning before an appointment then I'll post up pics!

Mary

and here is mine from the side:



cheers,

Thanks so much for the Pics I'm sooo excited about getting this cowl. Could be my best birthday present evah!

Well here are the chain guard and bottome plastic piece:

The bottom plastic
And a front view:

What do you guys think?
Mary

I can't tell if its from the exposure of the camera or not, but the blue doesn't look to be the same blue as on the fairings/tank?  If its the same blue then I like it! lol
