Who says your bike has to look like grandpa's.
On the old board there was a posting with several pics that were photoshop edited with various colors. The two that I thought looked best were a darker yellow metallic and a pearl white. Both with darker bottoms. I don't recall which member had done all the edit work and posted the pics though.I remember that. I actually used his lime green as my model. I was aiming for a Kawasaki green, but sort of went a little away from it. The guy who painted it usually does vintage bikes and Harleys, so he likes makin custom colors.
I like it, but then I like "loud" colors anyway.
Were I to be in need of repainting a major portion of my bike, Id paint it Nuclear Pumpkin, aka Pearl Blazing Orange from the 03 Z1000 and other orange Kaws that year.
That color is amazing, if you like orange.
By far my favorite, though my yellow VTX looked pretty darn cool too...
