ever thought about painting the faded tail section and front fender to give it some more pop? i think it would be cool it the tank and plastic were painted black with a red frame.

Yeah I've played around with the idea. I asked to have someone to photoshop it and warthogdriver made one for me.

I do like how it looks and I may do it, but I'm not 100% sure yet.

Do everything in a flat black (plastidip?) and go for the stealth type look?

Meh, I've never really been a fan of the flat black look. Not to mention it seems like it would be a pain to clean.

ever thought about putting a belly pan on it? kind of give it that street fighter look.

one maybe like this: Suzuki Bandit 600 Bellypan (1996-1999) Gloss Black

it would look somethin like this.

I don't think I could justify spending $190 on one, but they do look cool.

It's a little more purple than I would like, but I think it looks sexy. Not to mention that it feels like a different bike now. It's amazing how much difference 2in can make. It's also just a little wider than the stock bars too.
