wera803 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 So I've owned the bike almost 4 years now and wasn't really worried about paint since it was a track bike. Finally got around to having my friend do it (had the money and ability to get the parts to and from him in Michigan). So now it may be doing double duty as a part time street bike too. The original design was inspired by Baileyrock's 2007 750 track bike. I had the tail hump white in the original design, but since I had 2 of them, my buddy painted one white and one black. Which do you think looks better?? Some sort of decals will have to be next. Not many, but at least a couple. Oh, and maybe a new sweatband around the M/C reservoir.

I voted black. No stickers, my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeypuck Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Nice paint job. No decals except maybe a lower case "gsxr" in red or white on the tail light pods. I voted for the white cover. The black looks like spray paint on the factory girlie-perch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted April 24, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted April 24, 2011 Simple looks good. I'd go with the black as well. Seems to work without seeming misplaced or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Jeez........ Its a tough one. They both look good. White just though. Dont know about decals, think it looks good now, busy but not too busy. Maybe something GSXR in black on the tail if you leave the hump white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Make a bump pad in black for the white cover. Add a little red here and there too while you're at it. Just a little... Looks good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wera803 Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 I love it. LOL. Thanks. Someone else told me it looked like an Orca too. And other buddy said Pepe le Pew. If you can't count on your friends, who can you count on?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 You could put a bowtie decal above the headlight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer RollinAgain Posted April 24, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted April 24, 2011 Another vote for black although I like Seb's bump pad idea. Rollin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baileyrock Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I like the White tail myself. Love the look of mine when I painted it black & white too! I used some simple Suzuki/GSXR stickers to break it up a little. Wish i still had it! BR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I voted black. No stickers, my opinion. Thanks, ordered a couple this morning with the 20% off coupon you sent me. I was thinking just the "S" on the tank, maybe the big GSXR on the side fairing, and of course I have to put 600 on the tail so people don't think it is a 750 when I go past them.

No track bodywork and the bike still has a clean title, so just thought I might get a little more use out of it if I could ride it on the street too. I hate that it sits in the garage most of the time with only 5-7 track days a year. Just seems like a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren't you the one that had to let off the gas on the back stretch of Jennings one day because you saw 165 and it was still pulling?? Well, at least we know it's me and not the bike.
