Went for something conservative and used a BMW ///M color.

Carbon Black Metallic:

That looks like a dark blue which compliments the frame nicely.

good choice!

That looks like a good color for Loretta's frame and swingarm.
Gotta get her painted this Spring.
My clearcoat looks good on one side, the other is all "cracked".

I like your mirrors ; )

Nice! I like that color. I was thinking of having my CR painted matte gray or even a matte blue, but this looks fantastic.

If you don't mind me asking; about how much was it to have all the plastics painted?

I got the Barkers with a 1.5 in quiet core & the E B R Barkers ECM. Sounds mean which is a huge improvement. The sucker is loud tho. Like pain in the ass loud after awhile. I think some ear buds are a good idea. Runs so much better and for me. Used to hit 220 riding it with the stock setup. Yesterday I put 150 miles on it and the temp never went over 180.

I thought about the blue airbox but opted for some blue pegs and levers to keep it even. Looking back I should have went with the black pipe.

haha the car in the background is actually a bill blass continental. when the sun hits the bike like it is in the pics the blue really comes out, but mostly it just looks blackish like my car:



Jasbi -the barkers is great. Like Kc said, very loud. The quiet core makes it very bearable though and I leave that in most of the time.

Thanks for all of the compliments people!
