Well, the other side of the pancake I suppose - most of Fred's bikes are nicely understated, so maybe hit's time to make one stand out?!  In that case, maybe the Rothmans livery
Except for the monster he's building. I can't wait for the lightning storm, when he brings it to life!

I am also liking this body kit. It is the first one that has a photo with bags attached. I would do the wheels in White.

There is another one that has grown on me. Following along with my preference to WHITE motorcycles. I think I would do the front wheel in Red and the rear wheel in White.

  Well I am not getting any younger here but Fred I am curious to know your thoughts about the lean angle. My bird has risers plus certain VFR bars will fit as a mod for the bird and I still think its a little far forward if your under 145km\h. Looking at it I would say my bird has more lean which would make the VFR more comfy at slower real world speeds!! Cant see them being fun to turn wrenches on but fuel injection is nice and it is a honda. That said my ITX is still the man! I think Monkey would agree.

I will know more on Friday when I get to ride it. It does have a set of HeliBars that raises the bar height an inch or so. Here is the For Sale Summary.

All of the rest were OK - this one is great!  

Very well done tying in all the bodywork - almost understated while screaming Honda at the same time!  Maybe add a small black stripe/shadow at the bottom of each of the "feathers"

I vote for the last one too. That's awesome.
