Changed my mind, fairly wide black strip down the middle of the tank

[Mike TW9]

I like black.... with a bit of red!

fixed it for you mike

It's your bike so it's your choice, but my opinion is the same as the others, the black doesn't work in that style.

You could probably get away with a black stripe down the center of the tank and tail section, even a solid line with two margin lines, one either side of the solid line,

Chris.

I was thinking about a black stripe going round to split the white and orange. Would it still go with the nose I painted if I didn't put black on the tank?

I think you need to try the front fairing panel and tank on the bike to see if it will work without any black on the tank. If not a black pinstripe to split the white and orange (as you mention) on the tank may work,

I'll test fit one side, front and tank tomorrow and see how it looks, I'll post up the result.

[VTR Phoenix]

Here is a test fit to check if I need black on the tank or to remove it from the nose. Nothing has been lacquered yet but should I leave all as is or change something?

[Demonic69]

That's a very cool colour scheme. I think a black pinstripe at the join would look great!

[VTR Phoenix]

Does it need white anywhere else?

[Wicky]

What are you planning on decals? Have them in white?

[AMCQ46]

needs more yellow

I have black decals with a white Honda decal to go on the front. The tank Honda wings need to be black due to the white and orange already on the tank. I am leaning towards white decals all round now though.

Lol I squeeze some in under the seat

[Demonic69]

I 'd go for a matching white section on the pillion cover if it was me

I thought someone might say that I was a thinking the same. Thing is the seat cowl is finished so I'll have to strip right down and repaint. I was thinking pearl white cowl with the white radiating down to just the top flat section of the rear fairing which finishes under the seat

I think that will work very well without any black pinstripes separating the white and orange on the tank, a shame you have already finished the seat cowl.

It's looking great so far

Chris.
