I love the bike, great color - and who can find fault with the patriotic flair. For me though, they would be in different dreams.

Just my opinion, but I think it would look much nicer yellow. It doesn't seem to flow like the stock painted cowl would.
It's a bit like the 955i Daytona with the Union Jack front fairing.

My old seat cowl turned out pretty good. The yellow is a little overwhelming with those colors.

Hey skank!! Yeah it took a while to find the right guy to do it. I think it would be awesome on a black bike or a white bike, but the yellow...not so much. The tail on these things is just so tiny to start with...that it is just gobbled up by the color. We'll see how cheap I can find a yellow one...maybe Santa will bring one
For real though, you should see the workmanship on it. I had Johnny at Sycotic Designs do it. http://www.sycoticdesigns13.com He did an awesome job.

I was thinking white bike too. I should have suggested the Union Jack design just like you did except using the yellow, silver, and black. I should have mentioned it when you told me your plans for it but you seemed to have your heart so set on what you got.

Your bike and the cover both look awesome. I agree, however, that they do not look awesome together. Maybe it would almost work if it was a flat yellow... but I think the yellow on your bike looks way better... just maybe not with the cover.
On the other hand if you are that intent on using the seat cover, yesterday I was reading a thread where someone mentioned that he had bought fairings/tank from a parted out S3 on Ebay to change the color of his bike on more than one occasion. I don't know how much that costs though... can't be cheap, but it's a possibility.
