the red looks nice but so does the black with screens. I would definitely do the radiator guard though as it will get damaged from stones etc. I see you can also get color matched rear huggers too. I might add one to mine as the tire / swingarm area is pretty dark. I did my v panel with black screens to match the radiator.

JG1 i love your balance of color with carbon accents. Nice touch The silver looks great. Cox would be awesome too. R1buddha's suggestion may be even better. I would have to see it first. GREAT JOB. May I ask how much you paid for your decals.

Thx, I bought most of the decals from tapeworks, which I think came to $130ish. The Yamaha Racing decal with red/white tuning fork I had to get from another vendor as tapeworks can't make a red tuning fork due to legal reasons. I had to pay a customization fee for it and I think they came to $70ish shipped.

The decals on the lowers, and the stripes on the tank are clearcoated over so they are smooth as glass.

The last two pictures you are looking a bikes with the secondary radiators on them.:fact
Not the v-panel you are running.

They are also bikes that need to be easily worked on, not necessarily good to look at from all angles.

i still say black screen and the black cox rad guard.
