White '13 with 14's red parts
12/04/14 4:43 PM

Post your thoughts. Too much red?

1) OEM '13 white:

2) '13 white with red rim stripes:

3) '13 white with red rim stripes and '14 matte black's red brake calipers added:

4) '13 white with '14 matte black's red grills added ... and red stripes:

5) Same as above but with '14 matte black's red brake calipers added, too:

6) Same as #5 but without rim stripes:

5, 3, 4, 2. Red calipers add that little touch that's missing in the pics.

In person I think the difference would be very minimal, and I might even prefer the gray calipers in person with the red bits added here and there.

I like the idea, although the white is super sexy on it's own.

# 5, like the contrasts which I think compliment each other. Also, the variations change your focus to ALL areas of the bike and not just one part. Love it!!!

#1. I hate wheel strips, it's like putting a big hairy mole on a Jessica Biels face.

Totally #5, #6 would be better... which is #5 but add red levers (and/or bar end weights)

Couldn't find an OEM pic with red bars / levers, of course, so had to make 'em myself, and that's not always a good thing ... here it is nonetheless:

Might be the slightly different shade, but I take back my previous post... #5 so far has my vote, can you do another 1 with a hot chick on it? ;)

#5 is just right; neither too much nor too little! Very sharp without being ostentatious.

I like #5 the best too.

can you do an orange and black 2014 with the green fins, I'd love to see that combo?

I would go with number 6 minus the red fins or number 1 with red calipers. Just a little red to set it off. I remember when I had my white gen 1, I got rid of the red grills and red wheels and it looked a lot better IMO. Left a few red accents.

#1 is my favorite. #4 second best. The white looks good, adding some red is interesting, adding too much red not so good

Boy, you guys are good with Photoshop!!

At first I was kind of like yeah..green ok. But it actually works pretty good, just think it would need integrated better, kind of like how #5 works with the red wheel stripes and calipers. Try putting the '13 SE seat cover on, and maybe green calipers.

What I like about 5 is it looks like it could've came that way from the factory.

I like #4. The red accents look real nice. You could consider using some of the white 2015 middle side cowlings and white it out to. That might look good also.
