I likes how you had the line of color running with the line of the tank and side covers. Red neck and fender. Just not loving the red you used in the photoshop. I think without a real bright red it could look real good with the red stripes on the rims. Flat red and shiny black would be my choices for it.....

You don't want to ask me. I am one of those that thinks most bikes should be black.

Do you have a cool paint job on your bike? Please post and give me your opinion.
I like your way of thinking. I like the whole slanting of the red from front to rear.

Paintwise, here's what I would do: Maybe add a two tone to the tank, red on bottom at the dividing line from where it comes off your neck covers. With that, squash down the word "SHADOW" and divide it in half along the slanted dividing line, upper half of the word in red on the black part of the tank, and black on the bottom as it sits over the red. Color the valve covers red too. Maybe carry the red over onto the rear swingarm as it comes off the side covers. Lets see it from that point.

Lowered with a custom solo seat and that would look totally bad^$$! Whatever the case is, GET GOIN!

PS - Yes, I have some custom paintwork too (rattle can and homemade vinyl).

It looks a little like the black and red themed mean streak. I like it. Then again, I like anything different.

Very similar to what I was planning to do with my VLX over the winter.
I think more black less red. Could also contrast well with little hints of blue.
