Title: White c14?
Post by: Rowlander on May 11, 2011, 08:46:22 PM
Has anybody seen or perhaps have pics of a c14 in white? I have seen a police version, but was covered with emblems, attachments, etc. I'm thinking about a change soon and want to preview it. Thanks in advance.

I think white would be a tough color to hide dirt, at least on the underfairings.  If it were me and I had to repaint my bike, I'd go for the Triumph green color (or like the European spec '10 models)

I'm having a vision of a "Imperial storm trooper" riding this version.

A little color pinstripe trim would stand out nicely

Are you sure that it's a Pearl White? Maybe it's just my screen. But it looks like a plain white to me.


I love pearl white. It's an awesome color. But it has to be the pearl white. The metallic look is awesome.

I had a white Suzuki 109 and I loved that color, it really looked good on the bike. It actually wasn't that hard to keep clean. Believe it or not black shows the dirt more than white does. I like the white Concours.

That looks like pearl white to me...white has always been my favorite car color and the connie is most definately hot in white too!  I agree, "pearl white" is da bomb!  :thumbs:

Thanks. I'll have to look at it on the desk top with the bigger monitor! I'm sure it will look great. That color always does!

Me Li-key that white bikey. I wonder how much it would cost to get my Ebony resprayed color shifting pearl white. I saw a guy in a VW GTI with this white that shifted to purple blue and green in the sun. it was sweet. He said it was a $6K paint job.  I'm guessing the bikes gonna cost at least a grand.

Yep, they're great bikes but not so much for 2up riding with the bags loaded, I had an 06 as well but in the faster black color...  8)

Here is the Police Bike Kawasaki had in Daytona this year,  I thought it was a great looking color for the bike;

That's pretty hot!

White may be the first color I paint my C14.  Really wanna do that lower fairing too but no sure after seeing the earlier one in the thread that I like it.

Who wants a bike that looks like a "cop" bike?

Hey, it makes people get out of the fast lane for you.... it's amazing how courteous people are when they think there's a cop behind them!

I'll bet that works well.........but do the cops look?

Funny here in Houston most of the cop bikes are black. I've only seen 1 C14 police bike & that was in Galveston. Maybe that's why ever since I changed the city lights on my Black 09 to LED's (They're bluish white) people don't seem to like me riding behind them. Coincidence? hmmmm 8)
