I painted my frame a silver candy base, and put my new motor on. the motor is polished so now my bike looks totally different. I don't know if I should something. should I paint the motor black or leave it alone or paint the frame back?

Remember/keep in mind any painted frame be it powder coat or regular spray paint will need bare metal for the grounds, especially the engine mounting bolt/negative battery connection.

I had been toying with the idea of painting my frame silver too, but I wasn't sure how it would look without the usual contrast between the black frame and aluminum engine. Thanks for the visual, I think I'll go ahead as planned with the silver ;)

X2 - I think we'd all like to see a daylight pic of the girl in the sun. Give us all a true visual of that beautiful metallic maroon and silver machine B)

I like it too. My frame used to be white and people would ask if it was a custom frame all the time.

It has grown on me already and I will not change anything. Tomorrow is supposed to be better outside so hopefully I will get to take more pics.
