Looks great! Would be awesome totally black, or a touch of some other colour, but not too much.

Remember I think it was a K4 GSXR thou, it was all black with a red R and gold wheels it looked gorgeous IMHO.

Agreed. Gold forks on an otherwise black (and a few bits of silver) bike looks superb. On coloured bikes (red and blue in particular) I think gold wheels look quite good too (so long as it's a dirty matt gold- rather than highly polished)

On the topic of the colour scheme: Yes, I think that looks great and the stickers sound ideal too.

Me like that. I'd give it some really dark grey for contrast... No, really...

Thanks everyone for all your valuable input!!! :wink:

The stickers should be finished on Saturday,so I'll have some pics to post then,hopefully!

Northy,you mentioned a touch of grey,well I did think of that too,but wait 'till you see this 'Reflective' Black stuff!!

It's hard to explain what it looks like,it's Matte but with low light levels it has a kind of matte-silver-shimmer effect,but when STRONG light hits it it reflects White/Silver.......brightly!

It's really good stuff,my mate who's doing the stickers does Vinyl liveries etc and you have to be 'registered' to get this stuff apparently!?

We were experimenting with the 'Reflective No.Plate' issue with it a year or so ago,it does work,but no-body was willing to risk their licences and try it against a Speed Camera! :roll:

Thanks again everyone!!!!!
