Id have to say it looks like crap. imo

Re: Pics As it sits...

i'd prefer a flat black frame, but yours seems in pretty good condition.. I'd prolly keep it as it is.

but unless all the plastics are red, the first thing I would do is paint those rims. That color is too bright for my tastes..

Where's the "Finish the V8 swap then start a new project" option

A different style fender would help it out, and paint the rims or something unless your going w/ the red theme.

Re: Pics As it sits...

If your going with the color from the other thread, id say go with a black frame, and black wheels

two things about polished frames
1. takes a ton of time to polish the frame / swingarm
2. keeping the "polished look" isnt easy, it oxidizes badly and needs constant maintenance.

chrome- expensive, tacky ...

if you went with chrome, id do the swingarm / frame / triple tree and bars / wheels all in chrome to make it look right and that would be costly.


either way, paint is gonna probably be the easiest and cheapest and look the best, imo.

since the seat is black it will all go together nicely.

Gloss black...

Glossy blue paint wouldnt go with flat black very well...

plus later if you want to sell it, it may sell for more, cuz flat black looks like you were drunk and felt like painting it with a rattle can and did a half *** job.

Re: Pics As it sits...

I think thats a chopped up Yamaha R6 raven...

the color scheme IS good on that but I dont think you could pull it off with blue / black
