At the end of the day; it doesnt matter all that much what any of us think.

I like the colour scheme.

If it were mine, this is what I would change:
Screen - You cant see through it. I would go light tint.
Tank - Take away honda lettering replace with wings
Side Panels - Get rid of the Honda bit and move it to the rear, get the graphics off one of the ?early? NC's for the VFR400R and use for more consistent lettering.

My 2p

Looks nice and tidy.

Not liking the enormous HONDA on the tank...the little wings are the shizz but overall a nice moto.

How does it go mister? :grin:

input gratefully recieved homes :grin:

dx4: cheers matey, i have zero aesthetic taste, really, none whatsoever so the comments of others are at least listened to ;)
new screen is on its way from the bay of e
i wasnt sure about the honda on the seat unit but it looked a little bare?
and i really wasnt sure about the mossive honda on the tank but i had the stickers left over and it was late and i'd had a drink m'lud.
i still have the wings so that will be coming off.
i was a bit short when i bought the decals, the nc30 set was £9 and the nc24 set was £30!
when the screen arrives i'll get the proper set and maybe redo the tank in silver?

cmmjcjls ( ;) ) unfortunately my personal life is in more of a mess than this bike ever was so i've had to get it mot ready sharpish. so no chance to do the valves or sort the carbs :(
still goes well tho, the bigger spacers in the forks have really firmed up the front, loads more confident on corner entry now. goes well, viper can sounds the bomb without alerting every plod in earshot like the ART can did :ninja:

looks good with the silver fairing,just a thought for what its worth maybe if the tank was red in the style off the anniversary vfr800 or like rick olivers bike :idea: a good result nonetheless i like it :plus:

Nice bike, well done! I agree with the other guys though, might look better if the Honda decals were removed from the tank and the seat unit. Other than that a nice looking bike!

Looks pretty good.

But... if it were mine I would place the HONDA sticker on the lower fairing (and remove the VFR) where it was intended.

I'm not a fan at all of tinted screens either, but that's just my opinion.

Let's see some more pics if you change it!
