Member Contributer NCSam Posted April 23, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted April 23, 2014 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.

VFR4Lee Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Cruzins shark face is good for a 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Ultimatevfr Posted April 24, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted April 24, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's someone here that did a black/white/gray combo that is awesome. Wish he would chime in with a picture!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted April 24, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted April 24, 2014 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...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted April 24, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted April 24, 2014 ^^ 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer rdguy Posted April 24, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted April 24, 2014 Somebody at TMac (Monk?) had a 2008 with red wheel tape and red radiator screens. Just enough to bring a bit of colour.. Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
