It's not too bad looking as it is, but I think it can be better and I need projects  

My first thought was dark grey main tubes with red cross-members, but I think red might be too much.
Same thing with gold really....

Not that I succeed all the time, but I try to keep my bike mods quite low on the obvious-bling-scale. I like it best when insiders notice after looking for a couple of seconds vs mods that overshine the Monster birth qualities.

What do you think? (photoshoppers welcome)

Black or dark grey.

Color can be temporarily added later with vinyl, and if you like it, permanent with paint.

do it.  black.  really cleans up the look of the rear IMO

Black main tubes with red trellis tubes for something different.

that would be pretty slick

I have three suggestions:
1. RED
2. RED
3. RED



Or, you could paint it RED!!   

On second thought, you should probably go with RED.

^^^ You forgot to mention RED.

A beautiful swingarm is something I like to see.  In the case of the S2R, I'd just leave it silver.  Same with the lovely aluminum DSS swingarms.  I actually prefer the older 848's and 1098's with their silver swingarm.  

Having said all that, I'm at work waiting to leave for a soccer game, am feeling generous (bored), and did up the looks you've thought about:

Dark Grey with Red:



Black with Red:



Black:



Red:

All of the above look awesome, really liking the red trellis on the swingarm, good luck with the decision 

I'm feeling the black!  Do it!!

I'd either go all black or all red. The combo ones look kind of neat, but gimmicky IMO.

Just to give you my bias up front, I don't like flat, dull, and dark.  I like bright, colorful, and shining things.  That said I like the grey and red best but I think it would look eve better if the grey matched the engine casings.  That would tie the engine to the swingarm and give it a continuous theme.

Red makes the bike too heavy looking
Silver makes the bike too blingy
