    New colour scheme [Need your feedback]

    As some of you already might know, I'm pretty keen to get the white bodywork off of my bike.
    Thought I'd go with the blue & photoshoped the colour scheme.
    Will darken the headlight with darker shade chrome too.

    Number 1 is current state. Can't decide between 2 & 3. Any feedback from anyone would be appreciated. Cheers

    I like #3... the blacked out front fender goes well with the blacked out headlight. If you were to keep the standard headlight colour, I'd say #2

    I prefer the all blue look of number two myself. It looks more striking.

    Maybe change the red pin stripe on the tyres as well to blue?

    The best colour schemes always have three colours, those little splashes of red make it. #2

    I actually like the white but with the blacked out front guard as in pic 3. Maybe a few splashes of red to sharpen things up also.

    Same. Pic 1 with black front guard and with the blacked out headlight surround gets my vote.

    I reckon #3, go Aprilia-style and have a few colours on there that work together. Makes it more of your own as well, rather than emulating a colour scheme that looks close to standard. Nothing like having a bike that's unique

    +1 on #3 - I think it gives it a "meaner" look. Looks like you have the OEM mirrors? If it were mine, I would get a bar end mirror as I feel it really enhances the look of naked bikes.

    I like both the white and the blue, so I thought "Why not both?"

    Personally im a fan of chameleon, its rather unique and eye catching but it does have its draw backs.
    Its hard to get it extremely glossy like a flat colour and its expensive as fuck. $730 for 500mL at smits
