Re: anodizing
Bit too much blue methinks, you can't have just one colour, get a couple that compliment each other.
Why not just the wheels in blue, that might look nice? Btw that blue is a bit off compared to the Suzuki blue on your bike, which isn't helping... |

Re: anodizing
Well, at the end of the day it's your bike so only your taste/opinion counts...
... but it hurts my eyes is all I'm saying.  Maybe the forks and swing arm in blue, or just the wheels - give the bottom end a bit of colour, maybe add a bellypan. But the rest - do in black, or polish up instead. |

Re: anodizing
Before I go any further, I just want to make it totally clear that I hate that.
Now we've got that out of the way, powdercoating's probably a more practival approach- anodising is a good finish but it can be inconsistent, especially with lighter colours, and not all that many places have the hardware to do really large pieces. Aerocoat and SSS have a load of options like smoked and coloured chromes, very cool on the right bike. The dark smoked chome is just plain ace.
