This is my G/F's little pit bike. I was going to run with black grips but the white ones started calling my name. Nothing like stretching a standard grip over a twist throttle! Here is what I need some feedback on... the seat. I put some tape on the seat to get an idea of what it might look like. Here is what I'm thinking

1) The sides of the seat will be white. The little edge beading around the seat will be red. The top of the seat will be black with 2 white stripes and a red stripe in the center.

2) The sides of the seat will be white. The little edge beading will be red. The top of the seat will be white with 2 red stripes with a white stripe in the center

3) The sides of the seat will be white. The little edge beading will be red. The top of the seat will be White with 3 red stripes(one in the center) and 2 white stripes. That way the white stripes will line up with the tank stripes.

So I don't know? I think there should be some black in the seat? Like I said, I was planning on running black grips and going with option number one but now I dont know? Please give me your .02

Thanks

It looks like a 1950s toaster.

Too much white on a bike with that much chrome.

All black seat, black grips and black tires. JMHO. Are you saying Muxter smells like french fries ? Is that really him in his avatar ?

If you want two tone there are other ways. Stripes look bad on such a narrow tank. I think two tone could definately look cool if done right though, just ditch the stripes.

By all means - do the bike the way she wants it - regardless of the input you get here or anywhere else. None of these guys are sleeping with you!

You better do not show her this Honda 4-takt forum :: Bekijk onderwerp - Ariana d'r Monkey (nieuwe foto's) thread then

She's the rider, she picks the colors. If she likes it that all that matters. Please her, not everybody else.
