Looking for suggestions as to how to colorize the 08 Uly.

Would like to maintain the Made in USA theme.

Red Air Box Cover
White Fender
Blue Windscreen

White Air Box Cover
Blue Fender
Red Windscreen

Blue Air Box Cover
Red Fender
White Windscreen

Or other possible combinations.

Thoughts and input are welcome.

Since you're asking for input....
When you just mix up different colored plastics on the same bike, it always looks like a junkyard cobjob. I suggest one color for all the plastics with accents painted on.
For example, white plastics with red and blue stripes. It will look uniform and give you the effect your trying to achieve. Take a look at Evel Kneivel's bikes.
Just my two cents.

I agree with Ulynut, think the 3 different coloured parts will look tacky. Sorry

Green... that is a great looking paint job!

I gotta ask about that dry clutch and your boots though.....does it hurt much?

When the custom bodywork for my S2 was being painted, I ran Red White and Blue bodywork on the bike. On an S2 it didn't look too bad having each piece being a different color.

RWB S1


RWB S1 what


Back when I was attempting to figure out what I wanted the paint to look like I actually put together a Red White Blue design, but it was something that wasn't 'me' so I decided against doing it.

RWB S2 illustration


I guess what I'm saying is that my opinion is the same as Ulynut - but hopefully the images give some food for thought,

Send the white plastic to me.

I like the toned down red white and blue job on the 1190 RS
