Depends how it's executed but at the very worse you could give a lot of people a laugh!!!
And it has to be better than plain RED, YELLOW, ORANGE, BLACK (delete where appropriate). Ohh I can almost feel the hatred directed down the intermeweb thingy. :wave:

if the bikes a keeper, and you can get the paint done cheap then go for it, not to everyones taste and might be a hard sell if you dont keep the bike, painted in a kiss theme or even pinky and perky is gonna sell better than a boring slow blue one tho!! :thumbup:

Personally I'd say no, just as a resale point of view, bit of a limited market but if you really like KISS that much it's your bike.

I would suggest that you get a 2nd set of fairings to do it on & do a lot of research to find the right artist to do the work, custom painting ain't going to be cheap either.


OH year nearly forgot........

Kev L you are a sad & lonely man with your baby blue bike & are just jealous of the superior colours of superior bikes. Nah Nar Nar! RASSSP!

Now that's a better effort, well done Mac. Just the right level of childishness but with subtle threatening undertones.
Well done old chap, now stop pretending and go paint your bike blue you closet Tahitian you!!!

I knew having a few beers early in the afternoon was a bad idea, think will forget that Idea and keep it red, or perhaps fast Tahatian blue, heehee :eek2

Yep.
Have them in the morning, and sleep all afternoon, until Countdown.
