Default Opinion? with pics

Going to have my scoot striped. I have decided on a dual stripe with black and gold. The bike is a 2008 white gold pearl SG.

I am fooling around with photoshop and have come up with this so far. You have to view the pictures and imagine the graphics as just a dual stripe outline in black and gold. The skulls will not be a solid color.

The stripes will continue down each saddle bag, side cover, and onto the tank. Then I need to decide if I want the last graphic on the front fender or fairing. If I go with the front fender the fair will just have a simple stripe and if I go with the fairing the fender will just have a stripe.

What do you think?

Thanks in advance.

Whats important is that you are happy with it, what we think doesn't really matter all that much.

+1 paint the bike with what makes you happy, make it your individual statement. Your going to have those that like it and those that don't, but it's important that it's what you want.

Previously having a white bike, I wanted to add something to the bike. Is that what you are going through? You might consider what you do and how it will affect the resale value if you plan to sell it later. I first wanted to put a wild werewolf on the fairing but decided that would be make it less likely to sell later. You limit your market to those that would like something like that. I decided instead to put something on the bike that would be appealing to more people, but something I still liked. Here is what I did. Good luck with what you decide.

Leave it like it is. I've had several white cars. They look best lean and clean. I sort of prefer the way it came from the factory. But what do I know?
