I think that would look slick with the Corbin Smuggler black as well.

Thanks Conniesaki.

IMHO ...... Definitely not. Not saying that a little something (not sure what) wouldn't add to the beauty, but that stripe is not it!

I have a concept in mind that I think would be pretty cool, somewhat docile compared to the green set, but I think it still would be cool...  8)

Let me know your thoughts on this concept, but also please chime in on any other possible color/concepts that you'd like to see, let the ideas flow guys, don't hold back!  ;) :chugbeer:

Ok, here's what I'm currently thinking...  ???
 
I'm thinking have that 3rd set of bodywork done in this special "frosted black" (it's a flat black with a slight blue'sh tint hue pearl that only really shows in full sun over it and then mutliple clear coats over that, it's a really sick paint in person but from afar is pretty plain Jane, very opposite of the Golden Blaze green bodywork currently being done) and then do gold anodized wheels to match my Ohlins forks...  :o
 
Whatcha think?
 
Just an idea for now, but the more I think about it the more I'm liking the concept...  8)


 



I can't find a sport tourer with those colors, but sorta like this?

This color scheme is nice looking, not too wild for a Concours:

I do like the gold wheels.  8)
 
Has anyone with a blue 2010 or 2013 done this? If so, I'd love to see a pic.  :-\

In case you haven't seen it here is what my Connie currently looks like...

Well, it's after 6pm so I know yer already 3 hours into drinkin Gumby...  ;)
 
As I said before, if I do another black set I'm leaning towards a flat black with blue pearl, not another gloss black set like I already have, the pic I just posted was just to show black with gold wheels-n-forks.  :chugbeer:

Stripes:





Conniesaki what are those stripes you photochopped?

My idea is only  subtle stripes, such as some "pin" or "small" satin black or such stripes painted on top of the existing bag stripes and little fins on the side fairing would work!?

(Without fvckin up the whole paint job anyway )

Steve - I have both Adobe Illustrator and another free program called paint.net ... neither of which are perfect for this kinda thing IMO, but each has their strong points, but I can try different things ... Ya'll describe what you want to see & I'll do my best to make it. Pink polka dots??!  :D
