I am getting to ther point of re-assembly of my KZ750, am toying with color choices. Been thinking of a old Lotus F1 combination (BRG with yellow accent), but after playing in photoshop a while, came up with a couple of other possibilities:

BRG w/yellow frame

Blue w/yellow frame

Red w/yellow frame

vote if moved to do so....

if this is your bike I chopped, sorry for the imposition.....

Guess you could say I'm a fan of blue bikes. EDIT: Oh yeah, blue and yellow were my high school colors. Tivy fight never dies.

If you want a light colored frame how about a metallic looking silver that might be similar in appearance to the chrome moly Champion racing frames or some of the new frames on sport bikes. Using that with the blue body parts would give you good contrast. Take a look at the front forks on the blue picture for the general idea, or the pic below (although the blue is too light for my taste). Ed

Yellow frame isn't working for me either....

Buffed/chromed Lower engine to rear swing arm/frame as mentioned metallic silver would follow the theme nicely....

What exhaust, chromed or Black as pictured?
