Should I leave it stock or make a change?

I want everyone's honest opinion.  I'm debating if I should leave my bike stock colors or change the look.  If I leave it stock, it's gonna need new paint and decals or it won't look like a new bike.  I really like the stock look, but new decals & such is gonna be expensive.

you CAN save some $ by having a local printing company produce the decals. ( or if theywont, can find them elsewhere. ) me i prefer stock, OR if i change the scheme, i do like hte decals in place. but thats just me

I could also have the tank/plastics painted to make it look like I have decals.  I would have to find me someone who does custom painting/airbrushing for that kind of thing.

I like that look. You can get new old stock tail plastics. I've bought that color because I have a belly pan and stuff that matches.

Cleaning, buffing and clear coating with 2xMax can make them look like new. You can get touch up paint of the tank has scratches or dings.
