Opinions please

want to add a graphic to the side cover that matches the fender/tank. I also want to do the same thing to the painted console. http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Photos/BJN50863.jpg Use your imaginations and give me your opinions. While I'm at it how about extending the black part of the rear fender to the front of the rear fender below the strut.

I don't blame you, that is just way too much yellow on that bike.

I would extend the paint on the rear fender as you stated ...and get a chrome cover. That would keep the cover as a continuation of the engine/exhaust area...and accentuate the frame tubes and fender lines better .

Chrome struts and a chrome battery band would set it all off nicely, plus be a simple and inexpensive mod.

+1 on the chrome, and I would extend the black on the fender.

Thanks guys. I already bought the chrome band that goes thru the middle of the Battery cover but it doesn't fit. They made the cover slightly wider. Then I bought a chrome Battery cover and it doesn't fit either. It is 1/8" too short. I really like the idea though of the chrome struts. I love the yellow but I agree with 'Pig' it's a little much particularly under the seat area. I have a custom painter trying to match the Black Quartz. If he can I am on my way.
