Member Contributer rangemaster Posted November 29, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted November 29, 2013 Dutchy, I'd say 'Nay. It seems a bit 'busy' and detracts from that clutch cover. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted November 29, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted November 29, 2013 I say nae, except maybe the tank pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Cogswell Posted November 29, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted November 29, 2013 It is possible to over do it. She looks great as is. My $.02 is that if the farkle bug continues biting you to get an additional bike and start on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted November 29, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted November 29, 2013 I don't see a garage at that apartment. Nae. Too busy. Why are you trying to put more clothes on the red slut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer vfrAustin Posted November 29, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted November 29, 2013 I say Nay mainly because the shape of the plate is all wrong. Do an adhesive 1/4" pin stipe tape number plate to have fun laying it out. Then do adhesive numbers inside. Stare at that for awhile and see what you think...

V4 Rosso Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Yae, apart from the black below the seat, I think that is just a bit too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorin128 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Voted a sincerely Nae ! Perhaps I got too attached to the stock image of the 750...... however, if the vision persist then what the heck, it should be at least interesting to see all that mods in reality... I did followed my vision with another bike and it felt very good to have it moded the way I wanted......after two seasons I had another vision...so I moded it again ... after that the bike won the prize for best looking bike in a same model bike contest two years ago..... The idea is that following your dream in spite of others midght just bring you the best looking bike according to .....the others :P . If you allow me I'll post some pics of that bike in differrent stages on your topic to see what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sorin128 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Post away!!!! No need to ask permission :-) Well, long story short.....Bought this bike , a (humble but loveable) Hornet 2001 : And then thought of personalizing it .... This is what it became : And then, a short time after, I had another idea.....this idea become the most beautiful Hornet in RO some time ago : In other words - mind not the 81.25% (me included ) that voted for "Nae". The same majority burned Galileo for " And yet it moves" :laugh: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_yet_it_moves ) . They were all wrong :laugh: .

Beck Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Yea!....of course! But just in the right amounts..... No knee grabber tankpad installed on this older left side pic.... Satin black paint matches the NACA duct and belly pan finish..... I also thought of adding in black number plate areas at the tail cowl area, ala-RC45,, but I decided it will look a bit "overdone/trying too hard" on a 4th gen VFR that will most likely never see the track anytime in its life. I still might do something at the top front fairing around the lights to knock down the red a bit, which was the reason I blacked out the waist area of the bike......which I think got rid of the thick waisted look..... Why not try some D-Noc covering first to see how it goes. At least that stuff is easy to remove if things don't quite work out aesthetically.

Guest Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Yep, I'm with Beck on this one. IMAO, you're now messing with Mr Inbetween. You've gone a bit beyond black highlights, but are not yet at two tone red/black. Like Beck, I'm a highlights guy more than two tone...but if you're chasing a two tone look then committ to it.

CatiePotatie Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I say yay, but with Beck's pittures as reference rather than the originals.. and a full size tank grip instead of the thin bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer RollinAgain Posted November 30, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted November 30, 2013 Can we see the bike from another angle and perhaps with a dutch prostitute sitting on it? Rollin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer vfrAustin Posted November 30, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted November 30, 2013 I like it Dutchy, I have been messing around to break up all that Red as well. The tank pad and some fun ideas with black here and there will get it done. I also trimmed my front fender down to a shape I like and painted that Black.

Member Contributer Rice Posted November 30, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted November 30, 2013 Tank pads are ok. Rear number I'd leave just the number and lose the black around it. The fuglywhatchamacallit under the tank has got to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
