Color Combo Choices.... was created by catseye
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
[img


vote if moved to do so....

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

i remember seeing an early gs1100 years ago with blue frame/yellow body work that looked good.
i always thought a concord blue imron frame with white bodywork would look cool on a 900/1000 also B)

My only issue with the red & yellow besides McDonalds is it reminds me of Catsup & Mustard.

You left off orange with yellow. That's Ted's bike you photo shopped. I voted for blue. 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.

I personally like the blue and red colors, but the gold frame, not too crazy about that. I'm thinking that frame color would really show dirt/oil off the chain more than you'd like.

Green and red (maybe a darker shade) look nice. I'm thinking of those colors or black for my KZ900.

The yellow frame, I would paint it black. That sounds like a song?

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?
