respray
so september past i crashed the bike and it needs a respray. i want to keep it blue (cant be arzed sending paperwork away) but the question is what blue.
i'm going naked as well at the moment the bike is pearl vigor blue but i'm thinking of just plain flat rizla blue like this one https://www.motorcyclistonline.com/3...y-suzuki-sv650. mine will be pretty much the same as i have the gsxr front end and i would be adding a suzuki bellypan and no naff high level zort. |

Re: respray
I like the Rizla-ish blue, and it goes well with the black frame etc. As you say, apart from the high-level pipe, the bike in that article looks good.
Do you have a Fuel can on the bike at the moment? |

Re: respray
i have a beowulf warrior can on but its being swapped out for something else as i fancied a change, its just one of those cheep akro rip off chinese jobs but in black not carbon.
if i dont like it (too loud) then i'll put the warrior back on. |

Re: respray
Just buy used side panels and a tank? Cheaper than a pro respray.
I quite like that high level exhaust, and yes that colour goes well with the black. |

Re: respray
hmm according to the blurb they are saying that the paint is Candy Grand Blue..
its not about being cheaper, if that were the case i would just rattle can it matt black. Last edited by Bibio; 23-05-18 at 10:36 PM. |

Re: respray
That new colour looks good - do it.
Why would you want to look like a Renault? |

Re: respray
To give you idea, Candy Grand Blue is what was on the Curvy - mine was that colour. I don't know if they had it on pointies.
Blue gel coats on top of silver base coat, metallic not flat and was a deeper shade unless there is a flat version out there.
