    stripeing opinions

    what do you guys think, i need some opinions, i can't figure out how i want to stripe my bike and what to do with the fender,

    take a look at some photoshop pics i have done of my bike and let me know what you like,

    Don't worry it is still primer grey with a white fairing right now...
    the red will be GM "bright red" - a standard darker red with a tiny hue of blue, this red is the stuff found on any red gm car.

    also imagine lester wheels (front, back) with all black spokes and a polished aluminum lip.

    thanks,

    I think I'd go with the one labeled "short-fender.jpg" and the big S by iteslf on the tail.

          Hey, that GS will look great either way you paint it. If you're trying to make it look like the Wes Cooley bike then go with that paint scheme, that's probably what I would do. Otherwise I think I would go with one red stripe on the fairing but instead of on the lip of fairing put it an the recess were the turn signal is. That would put it in line with the stripe on tank and give it a more flowing look. Also the rear brake master cylinder looks out of place now that you've opened up the center area. Maybe just lengthen the hose 4 or 5 inches and mount more under the seat, it'll clean up the looks in that area a bit. Or maybe paint it black except for a small strip to check the fluid level. Great job though.

            Ryan, it looks great like that. I have my own ideas for that paint scheme but to pick and vote from your picture selections I'd go with #5 and #12

            It's going to be sweet man, keep at it buddy!

              Hotness....I say:

              Fender = short w/stripe

              Fairing = w/lower stripe & middle stripe all the way through w/black or red in the headlight

              =D>

                I don't have a better res pic. That was the only one I took at Jennings GP when I talked to the guy who owns and races it.

                But here is another from the internet.
