Member Contributer 5thGenJim Posted June 11, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted June 11, 2009 I printed a pic of the Yellow Submarine and have been thinking about simple touches to add to the blank canvas. She was repainted so there are no graphics as of yet. Last weekend, Timmy suggested painting the belly black (after suggesting that I paint the whole thing flat black, of course). I think it would look something like this (w/ painted belly and some nominal graphics): Thoughts?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer vanion2 Posted June 11, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted June 11, 2009 I would either adjust the belly line so that it goes flush with the tail or plan on adding some paint along the current line to the tail to make it "line up". Other than that I say go for it. It's your bike and do what ever makes you happy. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Paint the wheels yellow instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmythecop Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 the 5th gen fairing has a crease right where the black is on the bottom, so it wouldnt work to move that line. Just be careful to avoid any resenblance to a bumble bee. Just put "KEEL" where VFR is :biggrin: My latest Idea was to find a set of really old metal honda wings badges and glueing them on the tank.

enzed_viffer Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 My latest Idea was to find a set of really old metal honda wings badges and glueing them on the tank. I quite like the newer Honda wing badge thingos. How are they attached? Just stuck on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like the newer Honda wing badge thingos. How are they attached? Just stuck on? i'm talking about one sorta like this. Back then, I think they were all screwed in, but I planed on glueing the screw heads in also. I think the new ones (and they ARE cool) are glued on too.

Beck Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 What about some BMW style fading racing checkerboard pattern at the front part of the side fairings, as they did with their big K bikes?? I always like that styling treatment and it seemed to worked best on their yellow/black painted K bikes. Beck 95 VFR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
