The original color or some other color would be better. But that's just my humble opinion. Other than that it looks okay.

It is going to be painted a different color this year. That little experiement orange didnt turn out the best, it was supposed to be much darker.

Oh well...

I think it would look better with the badges back on. Just looks a bit generic or plain without them.

If you like it then I love it! I can't afford to pay everyone to build a bike to suit me. All in all, I think it looks pretty good. A clean bike in a color that I don't like always looks better than a dirty bike that is my favorite color.

The bike looks good. Congratulations to everyone who offers no valuable opinion, but just says it doesn't look good. You have done what we all hope no one does to us.

Chrome replacements from Z1E. They're adjustable, and go much harder than the stock ones did.

Fairly sporty.
