Doctori, I really like your suggestion of the doing the old pattern in red on the black bike. I did not notice that it is equipped with a red shock spring. Does anyone have a black bike and wants to do a mock up with photo's???
I got one of those ... I think you're talkin' about the Arai Edwards Valencia ... it's brilliant. I run one with an iridium blue visor 8)doctorj said:.... I saw a pic of a white helmet with a black line with red inserts in the old Yamaha pattern. It looked really good. I may get some white 1/4" pin stripes and some red tape too and make up a pattern on the black bike. I don't have photoshop but would love to see options. With that red trim on the bike and the red shock spring, I think it would look better than yellow ....
Here's the lid ..... oh and the bike ;Ddoctorj said:...... Yeah, Swagger, here is a link to that helmet for others to look at. I am thinking with the raven paint to add some 1/4" whiite outline filled with with red much like the Arai Edwards Valencia pattern ....
Cheaper solution would be to wrap a shock tube round the thing. Can't then see it and it's protected from the elements ... Happy days!Chadx said:..... Harder would be the spring. It's not very visible, especially once panniers go on, so maybe it wouldn't be a big deal, but for non-pannier running, a swap for the yellow spring would look nice, especially for those talking about adding Yamaha Yellow stripes, etc.
Ah, now someone is thinking. Yep, that would we the smart way to go. Good idea.Swagger said:Cheaper solution would be to wrap a shock tube round the thing. Can't then see it and it's protected from the elements ... Happy days!
