Anyone still got a pic?

This the matt black and orange one you mean?



I thought about doing this before i decided i liked the look of my bike with a bellypan instead of lowers. Think this would look ace though.

Grey is a good safe option, but I think any colour or colour combination done properly will look great.

I always lean towards darker tones, grey, black, dark blue, but I wouldn't mind seeing a white and red SV or white and blue. (Not sure I'd want that for my own bike though ).

That dark metallic grey logs the dogz dangly bitz.. Looks good with the silver frame. BMW do a similar colour on the Mini's or Honda do one on a Civic Type-R. Would defo get a regular colour that you can respray panels if they get damaged.

I can't remember where i found this picture but i really like the colours.

Holy Moly... Best looking SV ever.

Tartan--------------but I'm bias and never seen a tartan bike

shame it's not a genuine pic and has been photoshopped

Deep Rich metalics would IMHO look good. Alternatively the sort of pearlesent (sp?) that I've noticed on some high spec (RS6) Audi's. There was one blue\mauve ish that just GLOWED. I wasn't an amazing fan of the colour itself but on the petrol station forecourt it stood out and looked amazing. Which is one reason you might be going for a custom job.

That would be a bitch to get a colour match for if you scratched it!!!!
