gunmetal. silver bikes are sick. or flat black.
It's at least reflective and most of my long distance riding will be at night. So I'm veering away from darker colors. Heck if shit brown with green specs kept me from getting hit I'd rock it.i would have gotten that color if it was out when i bought my bike.
color doesnt matter.
you could be riding a bright as neon yellow glow in the dark bike with leds flashing in every direction.
if people arent paying attention and dont care, they arent going to see you.
and i want that r6.
no, no they don't. you could be in a neon bike with neon strobe propellors.brighter more reflective colors help my odds. Even though it might not be much.
but a black bike with little lighted area will be slightly less visible.no, no they don't. you could be in a neon bike with neon strobe propellors.
people don't see your entire body and bike, the color doesn't matter.
Who the hell gives a damn about color, step back and take it one step at a time, worry about color when you get to that point.
Since you're putting your life in the hands of that bike.
new tires
new brakes
new clutch, brakes, and throttle cables
rebuild the shocks
new chain
maybe new sprockets
new battery
check ever all wiring and replace anything you might question.
This isn't a POS beater car where when it doesn't run it doesn't run and god forbids you might break down on the side of the road.
A bike can have minor issues that could cause a CRASH at 50+ mph
By the time you're done with everything you'll be in the hole for a good but of money, if you're into older bikes its very worth it, however if you want just a bike to ride around for fun, it's a lost cause.
once everything is done, then think about painting it, BTW if you think paint jobs are expensive for cars, get ready to shit yourself when you start pricing out bike painters.
If it was me, I'd buy all new plastics that are already painted/stickered from ronayers.com IF they still make them/sell them.
so im assuming replacing the new battery(that came with the bike) with a new batter will do me good.
I AM THOROUGHLY GOING OVER EVERYTHING ON THE BIKE. Ill be going to the point of checking for important things. like cracks in the frame as well. wheel bearings, clutch, chain and sprockets. Do you replace your rotors everytime you do your brakes?
