White paint job

I was getting really tired of my yellow paint job, especially since whenever I washed it bugs would get attracted to it and start mating on it and stick to it in the hot sun.

I've always been a big fan of white so I figured I'd go with that, also a search on google images revealed very few white vtrs...

That's pretty nice. I've always liked the look of clean white bikes, but never been brave enough to get one, lol.

Looks nice.

The black framed one from the UK site looks real sweet.

O.P., you're pretty close to me. I'm in Georgetown.

Nice! I like the black exhaust tape. How's it hold up over time? Need much care to keep looking nice?

Yes I agree the black frame is very sharp! I would have painted the bike black except for the silver frame.

I missed the subtle red with black mix of my old R6 which is why I started with those in red when the project began, they were wrapped before I decided to switch to white and I figured I'd see how it goes with the white first.

For the stickers does anyone know the size of the stock honda logo on the tank?

I have had the tape on for nearly four years now and it is starting to look a little faded, And one spot where my heel rubs sometimes is startion to wear. But I feel that it has held up great, with no maint what so ever.

Very nice set-p on the white FireStorm. MCCTs and Hugger. Blackened frame and forks
have a very nice contrast. Thanks for the pic Wicky.
