Number 1 from me but don't think it would work with the small fairing on the storm mind....

Number two for me. but it's hard to tell with it on an SP but I prefer the grey stripes across the tank it has a more modern look. :thumbup:

Found these online, don't know who owns it but its a good example of #2.

probably look better with a lower pan matched up

I think I'll go with a green front fender like option 3. I kinda like it.

Looks like option 2 is in the lead!

That looks nice, defo needs the lower fairing to finish the look and I like the idea of a Green mudguard. The Red is kinda bold and stands out a bit too much which directs the eye in the wrong direction. :thumbup:
