How To "dress Up" This Gray 2008

Just purchased a Gray 2008 with ABS which was a must-have for me. It's a good looking bike but the color would not have been my first choice. However, ABS models are few and far between so I grabbed it while I could.

Very happy with the bike but I want to do something to make it snap a little when you look at it!

Any Ideas? I posted this on the Sixth Gen thread but was hoping to get some additional ideas on this thread. Whatever I do, I want it to be tasteful so no "wild" flames, skulls, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Cruzins shark face is good for a laugh. :laugh:

Cornercarvers kids bike is not bad, I would have gone for red myself.

What about something like the red white blue Honda scheme?

Rad and black? :unsure:

Are you looking for a complete color change , or dress up what you have ? Nice accent colors for darker grey are bright reds and silvers , to add some pop.

Looking for ideas on "dress up" as you call it. Nothing wild. I like the idea of bright red - but what? Where?

There's someone here that did a black/white/gray combo that is awesome.

Wish he would chime in with a picture!!

THe wing on my sons bike is reflective black, if you like the idea of red with with gray (and I do) you could go with a red reflective wing with a charcoal or black shadow...

1st Lee... :tongue:

If memory serves me correctly (do no count on this however) I believe the bike was done in black/white/gray in the same scheme as the RWB anny was done.

I went back thru a couple dozen pages of the body/paint forum here with no luck.

^^ Cruz you can find a pic of the bike you are talking about by searching the Chinese 6G plastics for sale on eBay...they have knocked off a few of our VFR's there.

IIRC the seller is bliss star or some such...

Ahhhh...this is it, or very close. For some reason I thought it was a one off

I think you're thinking of this one. I have no idea whose it is - just thought "damn, that's a sweet looking bike" and saved the pics. They did a beautiful job on it.

Somebody at TMac (Monk?) had a 2008 with red wheel tape and red radiator screens. Just enough to bring a bit of colour..

If you really want it, it's for sale right now. :goofy:

Seriously, I knew I'd seen this bike somewhere before, it's listed on kijiji.ca in New Brunswick (Canada).
