OFF!

If you think you need graphics...do something of your own design..there's thirty thousand bikes with your scheme in the USA.

man im there allready and most likely gonna order it anyways just for kicks to see what it looks like . This actual kit i was thinking of putting around the stock ones allready on . It's basically a belly pan and swingarm kit not full dress decals with major sponsor and number . i think it would be just enough not to much .. another thing is that most of decals wont match the parts or mods hahahah rocking a hindle pipe with termignoni advertized or michelin rolling on dunlops lol . I still think it would look cool ... wish i knew how to photochop these things onto my bike and see if they would look right

ON! Ride the darn thing and quit messing with it! lol

If it were an ugly color scheme, then maybe, but that has always been a good blend right there.

Just get some real front brake lines on there if you want to spend cash.

Off, assuming they'll all come off. You're a grown up after all.

disclaimer, this pic was done before fzronline was alive, i am changing the archives on there to fzronline.com

i think i remember seeing a site with the graphics you are looking at on the actual bikes, found it while i was looking for mine a while back. i will try to find it again today.

BTW, I like the stickers! haha

well ended up ordering that belly pan and swingarm kit .. didnt use them all and they mite look out of sequence but without taking off the oem decals and not having the upper fairing replacement decals, i just put them where i thought it would look ok .. btw had to order some blue wheel stripes just had to see for my self if it looks ok .i think it does . imo kinda makes the wheel look smaller but i like it for now also getting some 5 spoke wheels in a gold anodized powdercoat .WHOA ?? . but here is how the R1 sits at the moment .. VAT JU THINGIN??? "Borat

Guys,
one thing NO one has mentioned the fact a bike LOSES a lot of value if it is not stock looking.

If you do a custom paint job you have a slim chance the new owner will actually have much the same taste as you. on OLD bikes changing out to newer tech may be ok but alot of older bikes get bought by the "factory look" obsessed.

IF you want adifferent look take the Plastics off Put em away safe buy some F'glass replica's spray them sticker them any way YOU like but when you sell it give the new owner the originals looking sharp worth money in the bank.
