    i think i'm just going to keep the round ones aye...

    getting led indicators tommorrow and putting them underneath with the plate..get rid of all the rear spade

    i'm in the middle of photoshopping black wheels and orange rimtape...which boostin suggested will put up plain orange with black wheels with orange tape for him...then i will do the one i just put up with wheels the same....

    damn photoshops addictive lol

    I was thinking that. I don't have access to photoshop and paint would take to long and I can't be arsed so all I can do is suggest jagged lines, flames, number plates, fade, etc. would be good to mould the orange with the black, rather than having it look like the tail has been replaced with one off a black bike.

    Here's some photos for inspiration. Really want to get some silver sticker paper and try making the last pictures graphics

    I would say paint to orange!
    But thats what i want to do.
    Cant have every man and his dog running round with an orange ZXR.

    But seriously...the orange does look the best. Not everybody's cup of tea, but then again neither is kawasaki green and alot of people like that colour.

    Pic 3 looks hot! gets my vote, a black frame and swing arm would obviously finish it off, but its not essential

    tHE 3RD ONE IS NICE, 2ND IS LIKE JOHNS OLD ZXR250 SCHEME SO DON'T STEAL THAT ONE.
    PLAIN ORANGE AIN'T BAD BUT MAKE SURE YOU CAN GET THE RIGHT RIM TAPE FOR THE WHEEL DIAMETER, ZXRS HAVE FUNKY WHEEL DIAMETERS.

    yeah i was considering it but maybe the silver frame breaks up the black on the fairings a bit?

    yeah i surpose but, it just seems to be the recent trend in bike these days. The thing that really annoys me about modern sports bikes is that they have black frames, swing arms etc but leave the rear sets alloy. It looks stupid on a fully black bike to have shiney alloy on it. They should make it black from the factory!

    Woah, Pic 3 is the one, that looks just awesome man. 2 looks pretty damn good as well.
