Fitted my suburban bars the other day and my "new" GPS mount - perfect.
Took the bike out for a spin up Putty today (just a quick out and back) and I'm all smiles.
Using my bluetooth GPS and Palm Treo now in a waterproof RAM Aquabox. Ordered the mounting hardware from the US site, paid for it and got it delivered from a company in Sydney 2 days later - brilliant.
Anyone wanting to mount anything should have a look at http://www.ram-mount.com/
So Guys

I think either black or same as the tank (even tho that would be hard to keep clean). It's very noticable in red.
and you must have way too much spare time to have dug up such an old thread [roll] [cheeky] - I was wondering what the hell MD was doing riding the Putty!! [laugh]

ohhh Vince that doesn't help. Heather dear i was thinking all black too at first then when i put it on im not so sure hmmmm
I like the shape of the pan, but I think there's too much red....
Get creative with red/grey and it'll be stunning [thumbsup]
yeah i might just paint it black
I think it's got to be the same as the tank, not to sure about black, definitely not a fan of the red. Sorry to throw a spanner in the works :) can't wait to see ya again Julie!
im a fan of the red.........................maybe we could sneak a little No 27 in there as well [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]
It's gotta be titanium colour Jukie, maybe with a pin stripe around it in red.
Black is not the right colour IMO there is nothing black in the paint scheme on the bike.
It would be too heavy a colour at the bottom of the bike.
YELLOW!!!!!
well i was thinking black to hide it sort off. hmmm yellow was going to be the seat cowl hehehe [laugh]
just paint the whole bike black ;)

S4RTs should look like this:

:'( :'( :'( :'( I miss Trev's bike damn it. Why did I let it go, why!!!1!
But seriously, some belly pans looks wicked (Melvin, RobS, I'm looking at you). But they are Carbon. And Carbon makes me happy in my pants.
That S4RT needs a quatdbox, , clipons and no mirrors. It's a track bike after all [moto]
I am drunk. This opinion may not remain relevant when my BAC drops below .15

Jukie, when your on it , would be a good look naked.oops errr um, you know what i mean :-[
A metallic lime green with the yellow seat cowl is the way to go I think ... always been one to do things differently.
When we bought it the intention was matte black ... for those of you suggesting there is no black - have a look at the worlds largest belt covers and the front guard. The two items closest to the tum-tum pan are black ... but you tend not to notice them because they are black. This was the intention ... try and mask some of that bulky fridgity stuff at the front so it looks more like a proper Monster.
But we thought we might as well have a look at it in red ... becasue of the frame and other highlights. I think it doesn't look too bad ... front and rear stand (too much ground clearance), low afternoon sun and crappy photography make it look worse than it is IMO - but it is still a lot of red.
Titanium flavoured I think will draw just as much attention and will probably highlight the differences between the 'silver' of the engine bits. But hey, its not my bike.
Tricolore, Titanium, black, red?
Jukie
I actually don't mind it in red ..........its just like you
it stands out in the crowd. [moto]
Who cares what anyone thinks anyway, its your bike.
Not black maybe as Matty said ,tank colour with some red pin lines.
Glad your back in circulation [thumbsup]
Hang on
how's about a nice big scar to match your lovely belly ;D

Now Suzyj that brings a whole new meaning to Tricolor more like a multicolor. :D
If some one could invent carbon fibre pattern paint they would be on a winner [thumbsup]
Betty's onto somthing with the matte black front guard/black wheels.
The red looks what can i say [thumbsdown] [thumbsdown]
Rattle can VHT paint Barbeque black with a few Ducati decals [thumbsup]
Oh and the zaust has to go asap :)

I was actually thinking the other way around ... but that looks pretty good I reckon. The green needs to be a lurid limey colour though.

That is a separate but not un-related list.
Yeah I vote same as tank, maybe with a red pinstripe.......... [thumbsup]
Paint it see through
[thumbsup]
To be honest Julie........i prefer the smaller pans.......just me though......trust me here......its gotta be in titanium......but, like matty said......break it up with either with black or red........or a ducati decal

(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t70/robert3520/DSC03273.jpg?t=1303282094)
that air freshener is the ultimate in bling! who needs ohlins and termis when you can get a smiley air freshener!
do the bellypan in titanium juls, maybe red at the front in a big "SPLAT" pattern to make it your own.
paul.
I think I just gonna do all black
paint a stitched scar down the middle of your bikes bellypan !! :P
on a more serious note i think two tone titanium over silver. prob two thirds titanium and bottom third black.
added the scar just for fun

That looks very tasteful Jukie. I like. [thumbsup]
And there is more to come just picked up another parcel

Would that be an exhaust system jukie ? What brand ? ;D
No not the exhaust but the tail chop parts
Blastphemy at its best........biting the bum off ya beloved bike......how can you do such a thing... [roll] [bow_down] ;D
May I say the belly looks good.
What do you think of a small pin strip on it somewhere (to go with the wheel stripe)
maybe around the air vent?
but anyhow - looks great! [thumbsup] [clap]
Black was a good choice on the belly..
I do like the mirrors, very stylish. How much can you see behind ?
Buck234 I can see heaps which was very surprising. I never like them because I was afraid I would see anything behind me, but now I love them they are so good and there are so many variety out there too.
Well I have just had another parcel arrive today so Trev mods are on there way with pictures to come later
Bar end mirrors are the only way to go, vision out of them is better than anything else you could ever use. [thumbsup]
looking good Jukie.........Trevs looking 8) too.
Hay Trev would look the goods with this

Well the tail chop is done and now I have to find out where I'm going to put the funky indicators
Well Trev is done for the moment and pictures will come soon. Just now gotta finish off Betty
