      That I have no real clue how to do.I was thinking of sticking with the black and red separations as they seem better suited to the bodywork than what the factory did.

          I'd either back to the yellow, but ad some red pearl in the clear or black cherry and black.

            Trevor the red and black are stock colours for an 85 750EF,IMHO Suzuki did a horrible with them though.All the division lines where straight and nothing went with the curves in the bodywork.Think I did a much better job that way,to bad my novice painting skills let it down

            And this isn't anything I'd do either,the red and black have the same division lines

            Nice candy job on that truck!Candy is not something I'd feel confident doing with my limited skills.Yes I should have said if I went back to yellow it wouldn't be that plain yellow but a metallic yellow.Seen it on a Miata IIRC.Hmmmmm......red with a really dark(almost black)red,that could be

                  No votes for yellow?I kinda miss using the Old Yeller nicknameMy wife and I liked the visibility it has to.I get it isn't really a period colour.

                          I have voted for yellow for my husband's Bike. How ever I still and will always believe purple would be better. But its not my bike and i will support what ever color he decides to paint it.

                            The yellow looks great! Do go back to it! The other scheme was too dark for such a fun bike!

                              Yes that ! Remember the Joe Nardy 1100ED in blue and silver ?

                              But to confuse the issue further I would like to see the blue and silver switched around.......
