Question Any ideas for the bike?

Hey all. These are some before/after pictures of the bike. Its all black now and I really like it that way. Plain, sinister, and looks fast standing still!

Anyways, I plan on going with the ZX9R wheels and getting them chromed, and who knows what else.

Any ideas? I was thinking of some sort of decal, but nothing too gaudy. They make a material that is black, but reflects a bright white at night, like a stop sign, and I'd probably use this.

Try Tapeworks. They have a good selection of graphics and flip-flop colors too.

Yeah, and leave all the graphics off, that bike looks badass just plain black. I'd say don't chrome the wheels, you can polish them if you want the shiny look. Otherwise, looks very clean!

The only people who make a tail section for it in the US is Airtech, and its a race only piece so there are no lights on it. Trust me, I'd get it if I could...

Thanks, the previous owner did take awesome care of it. I sorta feel bad, bringing it to college, because she doesn't get the attention and care she needs, but I'll make it up to her with a new paint job once I graduate

When I got some stickers made, I believe the vinyl was done by 3M. The sticker color combo I have is silver and reflects white. The stickers say "Bad Habit Racing", its a group of my buddies and I, and they're on the cars.
