I like black and red, just not in that combo. Black out everything and red pinstripe the black wheels. IMO.

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).

OK LOOK

I'm liking a lot more, try it with the engine fins black to break it up a little, looking a lot better though, Daf will be one of a kind and made your own.

Lot better but the red is still a little bright for my taste!! But I'm not riding it so if you like it go for it!! I'd check with the gf/wife first they usually have an opinion, lol.

I like it better ... it's going to be entirely up to you (obviously), so just roll with it and mod as you go! Things have a way of mutating along the way from mindset to material. Just ask me.

Which one do you like the best and I will make the engine fins black?

I guess it is just me... but that is sweet. Love the color and really love the tank!
