New pictures. My camera sucks, excuse the blurriness. Can someone photoshop the tail all black to match so I can see what it looks like? Thanks!

It looks great but I think the fairings need something. Just cant figure it out.

Thats sharp looking. I think you should roll with that color scheme. For the side fairings, maybe go two-tone, Red bottom/black top. It will really set it off. By the way, the black tip on the pipe really catches me eye for some reason.

Is that your sky in the background?

Ha, thanks. I'm still trying to figure out the color scheme thing. No it is not my sky. I work for Saturn as a Tech so it is just easier to do everything here where my tools are.

First off I think it looks really good. Secondly i think it looks really good the way it is. If it were me...I'd just get rid of the decals. Black front-red back. If I were to change anything i'g go with a black frame, fork lowers and wheels and not even touch the bodywork. But hey that's just me. Either way i think your bike looks good.
