Mate go on be different.

People just leave things standard when they have a had a spill because they can't afford something different or are just boring.
Bet you you will have a Storm that people stop and look at rather than just walk past looking.
Different is Great.

To be honest its the gold wheels puts me off, puts me in mind of scoobys with gold rims etc...

I prefer more classic lines, how bout having the wheels the same matt black as the frame and if you must have colour on them red trims to match the b/work.... :?:

Thats a Colin Edwards rep I think, must admit Rich its pretty smart 8)

Hi dkt1376, here's a couple more pic's, just to give an idea of how much of a difference a non standard paint job (as EGG said) can make :!: IMO it can completely tranform a motorcycle :wink:

agreed, that green one is lush.

i'd feel like a right plum on a race replica bike. It reminds me of many years ago seeing Kevin Schwantz riding through town on an RGV250, well you would have sworn it was him.

Anyhow he wasn't best pleased when my mate got down on his knees infront of him at the lights and shouted "Kevin, Kevin, can I have your autograph"

I like that one myself, reminds me (showing my age now!) of a Norton Commando sprayed the same colour with a black frame, when I had a weekend job (before i'd finished school) at a local garage selling petrol, the owner was a mechanic at the same garage :!:

PS. I know this is a bit more than just a paint job, but I think it looks good :!:
