Default Dark Side - Bike Colour Scheme Advice Please

Hi Peeps!!!

How you all doing?

Right,this is what I'm thinking of doing to my Gixa.

What do you think? Too much BLACK or is it OK?

I have some special Graphics on order,still in the 'Stealth' theme,these consist of using the same size stickers as original Suzuki ones,BUT,the 'GSX' and '750' badges will be in gloss black,mounted on the matte bodywork,and the 'R' badge done in REFLECTIVE black,which is matte-ish except when light hits it and it shines 'White'.

I like Black.

Oh nice I like that

Sticker idea sounds like it'll finish it off a treat.

There is no such thing as too much black on a bike.

More or less.
Little bits of gold here and there with it look savage, brake lines etc.

See,I did think about that,My Dad has one on his HD V-Rod,that is a 2002 bike.

Though I think they get a tad less attention by the Rozzers,I don't know why but Sportbike riders seem to get more noticed by undesireable 'noticers'.....if you see what I mean!?

But yeah that would be good,if I could get away with it!
