Here's another vote for not messin' with the silver color. Your bike looks great the way it is.

It looks great now, but if your able to keep the old tins then i would go for the new ones. That way when your feeling like a new scoot would be cool...presto chango...change tins and there ya go. Just my opinion...

Aw, c'mon you don't like prancing around with your wrists daintily hanging off to your side and wearing pink tutu's?

do it, not a big fan of the silver.[:'(] everything is silver - a majority of the cars, etc. they do color studies about popular colors in style and silver has reigned too many years. sick of it personally. it will definetly make your bike more "custom". IOW others have the same silver tins but most likely not the flames!

I like the tutu's but I really like the leotards. Guess that's why I never cared for snow skiing, but I loved wearing the stretch pants.

Rick, your bike is the bomb already. I dislike the orange, but that is just me. I have simpler tastes in paint. Less is more, although my switchover to black tins is partially done. Everyone tells me they like the silver more. If i was to get some custom paint, I'd get silver and black, not some really flashy colors, but that is just me. I'd say spend it on something else. JMHO.

Agreed.. For the money of custom tins, you could do a whole lot more other stuff.
Since your scoot already has a lot of bling bling.. If it were me, and I had the money to burn, I'd be itching for other things like considering a 95 or 103 kit even, or maybe a 6-speed.. Or a vacation to ride the thing for that matter. As is, your scoot is 'done' in my eyes, but of course it's all personal.. If you really want the final touch, then there ya go with the custom paint. This set here wouldn't be my first choice though.. but again, that's a 100% personal thing.
