Bad324 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 As some may have heard the VFR had a small incident yesterday and although its not bad at all, I'm exploring the possibility to go with a custom color since almost every piece of fairing needs painted anyway now. So who wants to photoshop the VFR into Sunset Orange Metallic: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beegreenstrings Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 The black is nice! But the RED White and Blue that Big3 has is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh1234 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 I'm not a fan of the orange metallic, but it DOES get attention on sunny days.The part of the car near the fender, where the color is a little brighter is a more accurate representation of what it'll look like, I think.

C-bus Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 That orange would look fantastic! Go for it. As for the RW&B, I agree that it is a sharp color scheme, but why would you intentionally paint it to look like the previous year's model?

They actually have a RWB edition for the 6th gens but I wouldn't bother going custom paint for something thats already a stock choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Maybe you should paint it flat black so likwid has a harder time seeing it, or running into it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 I'm curious to hear about this little mishap. Everything/body okay?yea its fine. Pulling out of the gas station we met everyone at, couple bikes pull out and I was about to go but saw a quickly approaching SUV so I stopped. Likwid didn't see the SUV or me stop so his front tire hit into my back tire good enough for me to jolt and have the hands come off the bars and bike fall over the right side. Snapped the mirror off, slightly bent the brake lever and rashed the upper and side fairing. This now matches the other side where I have a bent helibar, bent clutch lever and rashed side fairing and tail section. If I don't get too lazy and cheap, this winter the whole bike should be getting a makeoverSo who wants to be awesome with photoshop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conn-e-rot Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Yeah.. I think the zx14 would look better if the air runners and louvers were black. It just needs something to break up that orange blob.I agree it has to have something to break it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Metallic orange has to be dressed with the right amount of black.this is my biggest concern with having the silver frame, rear sets and wheels because I really don't wanna tear the whole damn thing down to have it all powdercoated black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
