Hi Everyone

After trying to decide on my own, I've come to a bit of an impasse.

I'm doing a bit of work to my GS500F and need to figure out a colour scheme before I start on the rest.

I'd include pictures however it won't help as the bike is completely changing.

So here's what's on the list in the coming weeks (I'll start a project thread once I begin)

Stock tail is being removed and replaced with this - http://sharkskinz.com/racetail-usesstockseatrs1252009.aspx with the seat being shortened accordingly
The frame is already black, I've just finished painting my headers (thanks for the guides here BTW) and will paint my engine and finish with polished fin edges.
Rear sets will be changed for GSXR's (thanks to the adaptor plate I picked up here) and powder coated
Screaming demon (short black oval) will be fitted (with a K&N and appropriate rejet)
I'll be using the GS500F headlight, through some careful molding, some ABS plastic and a DIY vacuum former I'll be making a cowl to rectify the issue of how the sides seem to have a "step" and hopefully make it look somewhat better.
The "GS500" chain guard (again, from these forums) I'm thinking of getting powder coated also, and backing the letters with a coloured material (yellow or red) to finish the look.
Looking to also paint the lower portion of the stock forks (may even just use plasti dip there)

TL;DR - So to set the idea, apart from the tail, tank, front guard (or possibly not) and the DIY headlight cowl the bike will be matte black (with polished engine fins, and a silver end cap to the exhaust). The bike will be naked

Of the poll options, what colour/layout would you go? Should I leave the front guard black and leave the colours for the top of the bike? I'll also be playing around with rim stripes when they arrive to see whether or not they fit the overall scheme

Cheers
Dan
