paint scheme
so im trying to figure out what to paint the bike, at first i was thinking of a nice deepblue, and then something charcoal/grey/pewter came to mind, and then for a short period an outrageous orange of some kind, and now im toying tith a multicolor scheme, something racey of sorts. wondering what you guys have, ideas, pictures, thoughts, something to get my creativity going

it was an idea that we i was gonna do to repair some paint damage on my tail but ended up swapping to a gixxer tail. so now im thinking something a little more in your face to match the obnoxiously loud pipes and hid

Chalkboard. http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=103 I actually saw a bike like this once. Very... Interesting.
Also consider truck bed liner.

i saw a car with that chalk board paint it was pretty cool.
forde, all i can say is that i feel bad for you guys having to run those massive rears to hold the huge rear plates over there
nice color but if i go with a blue itll be something a bit brighter i think.

standard rear mudguards are always huge lol, from what i see on here usa bikes come standard with that too!
itll be coming off and a small plate and tail tidy bracket are going on i just havent got to it yet even tho i have the bracket and small indicators and plate here lol!! when im done with it there wont be any visible plastic at all just a rear light with plate and indies tucked right up below it
that colour is brighter than it looks in that pic, was a dull day and cellphone pic, and the metallic effect is very noticeable in it! but yeah i get what you mean
what about white that could look good? white/black combo? dont think ive ever seen a green vtr. maybe a darkish metallic green?

Screw the paint scheme. What is with that screen name. I sure hope you,re a doctor and your last name is mengele. Or are you a total ahole? Or are you completely clueless about the history behind something that may sound cute to you? Or do you not care about offending anyone? Incredibly so to some people? I know lately anything seems to be "ok". But man, grow up. Get a book and figure out who you are choosing to memorialize with that.

Well your post count is only 4 so you havnt used it much. Bundy was an isolated psychotic not part of a genocide government policy. I would like to hear the coincidence behind your choice though.

also the bike was painted in italy at my specifications (original color was yellow), and i know there is no other bike painted like this one- so is unique!
soon i want to start to make lower fairings like mine, at a rezonable price,
from fiberglass, so keep in touch
@others: i change the username, hope is ok now
Happy Hollydays!

even if its from romania if the price is reasonable it could still be cheaper to get one from him shipped than it would be from one of the guys on ebay or somewhere else. im waiting to get a good price on one so i can paint my bike. i decided i think its gonna stay yellow for this year, ill paint the new tail and undertail and wait till i find a lower that wont cost me a kidney and then ill get the whole bike done

how retarded do you have to be to pick on somebody's nickname on a motorcycle forum.
If my nickname was hitler, would that necessarily make me a **** or **** fan?
Since when do you people take nicknames so seriously and judge a person solely on his nickname?
Since we're on a HONDA/Superhawk forum we should focus on bike chat, not on what nickname somebody is using.
I'm sure that some of you who carry a more 'dignified' nickname here, on the internet, are far more ******** in real life than somebody who carries the nickname of 'hitler', 'mengele' & so on.
Try not to get offended by my post ( I know it's a hard not to)

The reason I didn't say anything was because I liked the idea that if he actually was a neonazi he might have been getting help from a Ethiopian Jew and not know it.. (that would be a Jew who is black African) That'd be funny!
So I don't get offended, but neither am I worried about people who are, there are valid concerns and if they care enough to deal with it, the forum (and moderators on here) will adjust and deal with it.
