Colour my Speedy

[BUCKET]

Well i am looking at giving Speedy a colour change early next year.Am considering a two tone job similar to Kzav's(he posted up a while ago)My choice at the moment is Barbados blue with white inserts and black pinstriping around the inserts.Any suggestions.And yes Cheapo i was considering Yellow with silver inserts,the possibilities are endless. :hammer:

before you decide, go down and give yourself an hour or 2 looking at "house of color" swatch books. it'll open your doors right up! good stuff!

Nah Bucket, no blue for you mate,

I reckon a neat chequered flag look to match your black and while leathers is the go.

Bikes should never be any other colour than black, or red at a pinch - bait cast :-D

Why not go for baby doo yellow - would blend in with your favourite little marsupials then!!!!! :hihi: :hihi:

Bucket, I thought you would know by now, that yeller is the only way to go! :hammer: :-D As far as two tone'n it, how 'bout some roulette green mixed in? :-D

No blue and white,
The sportbike community has already abused that color scheme.

Go to some bike meets and check out paint ideas, even if the color scheme that grabs you is on a chopper... It would probably look better on a Speedy. :-D

Sometimes the simplest is the best.

hey bucket,
"house of color" is a rad paint company. you'll see their paints on a lot of custom show cars and bikes. their swatch books made me re-think my decision when i painted my (other) bike. it's seriously like looking at rows of gooey candy. (not referring to candy apple red ghetto color - but they have that too) they have some brilliant colors!
if your looking for it, it's there. if you've never seen it, it's there.
i'll prolly re-do my triple some day with some sort of trick black.
