I see that your exhaust is wrapped. Maybe some black cloth tape on the forks? Then paint/powdercoat the triples, headlight bracket and footrest/exh hanger to either match the frame or block.

well the exhaust in the pic is gone, i have the low mounts, so im looking for a highmount as of now.
i tried wrapping the forks, but no success lol.well that was vinlyl, im not sure what you are referring to?
and soon ill be powdercoating bunch of stuff as i have a powdercoating system in the garage but have been lazy to take anything apart...

I was referring to black cloth hockey tape. TOB used to have a pic of a bike with this treatment but I could not find it. The vinyl tape looks cheesy IMO.

What about adding tech spec snakeskin grip pads to the tank?  Theyd be black, would lessen the amount of red and help it blend.  You can buy it by the sheet or precut.  I bought the sheet, and cut my own pattern.  Lots left over, so you could do a pattern.  The snakeskin looks textured, so it went great with the stock seat.

Getting too busy, IMO.


Did you mention it's for sale? Just sell it as is, and include the spare tank.

[djomlas]

the other tank is for sale, not the bike...
y would i just sell it couse the tank is not the same color as when i bought it??

[mmakay]

I have a ColorRite "Dark" paint kit sitting here that I would sell at discount.  You sure you don't want to paint the new tank??

[djomlas]

hahah, nahh
i think it will look great once the frame is red with res stripes on the wheels and possibly get a red stripe on the front fender with that cool ducati course logo in the middle.
i need to photoshop all that to get a good idea.

thx for the advices guys, i really do appreciate it

That looks pretty cool - I think a red frame would kill the look, though.  What about a gold frame? 

[Oldfisti]

Still looking...

i got a red seat cowl as well, so that should hopefully tie it some more in.
now i just gotta go and get some red wheel stripes.
its coming along

next on the list is a different front fender (i asked elsewhere on forum which fits)
