Thinking about going with an open clutch.  Can't afford new parts, so I'm gonna paint the parts with some matte finish VHT.  Not sure what color combo I want, though definitely some combo of black and red.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

+1. You need a little more red to tie the red headers in.

This pole is severely flawed. As per forum conduct policy Section 6, Article 3:

All poles shall contain a "boobies" option or be considered in violation of board regulations and subsequently deemed invalid.

Yes, of course.  The only problem is that I would not trust the vote of anyone who didn't vote for boobies.  It's a conundrum.

polls may allow two votes you know

it's gotta be red/black.  the red of the pipes makes it so.

those forks are standing out.
i think you need to go:

MAGNESIUM SIDE CASE.
RED PRESSURE PLATE.
BLACK OPEN COVER.
SILVER SPRINGS.

BOOM.

Not entirely happy with it, especially the "shade" of red in question.  But it's a start.  The next thing to do is fix the flaking red coating on the header pipes.

As you can see, I went with the red pressure plate and black caps.  I didn't do anything with the springs.

My 2 cents; black out the pipes and go with black and gold plate/springs/cover. I think that would play off of those sexy forks quite nicely.
