jcbooghs Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Jaap, you are a 'graphic-arts' man. You can do better than any of us . Just surprise us with an awful stunning bike. As far as I can see, you will add shiny things like the Ohlins things, the OZ racing wheels, ... Ooh, what colour are the wheels now?
luhbo Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Where have these interesting pink pictures gone? Those taken at Agostini? The interesting thing was, in my eyes, that from every other angle but those the official pictures were taken from, the kit looks somehow incomplete. Tank and fairing cut too short, no airbox to hide the worst parts of the frame and so on. That's what I'd do first: find someone to make me some really big airbox to close the hole in the center of the bike. I think that makes the biggest difference between the two bikes shown above.

Admin Jaap Posted February 12, 2010 Author Posted February 12, 2010 I like the "see through" style. Same as on my V11 in it's current state.
luhbo Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 See through is ok. That's the point of view thingie. When you stand besides the bike, not on on your knees, you don't look through, instead you have to look at, as I think, less attractive parts and details of the V11 basis. Hubert
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 I like the "see through" style. Same as on my V11 in it's current state. That is one of my favourite parts as well but how will you attach the tail light, signals and licence bracket? It seems a shame to ruin the perfect lines of the bike. Perhaps a swingarm mounted bracket similar to Pierre Terblanche's treatment on the EICMA bikes?
The Monkey Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 The tail section is deep enough for an LED tail light with turn signals to be built in to the underside of it. The face of the light bar will probably be about 3-5cm proud of the section for visibility. If the registration plate is small enough, then the plate could go forward mounted in with the seat subframe verticals. An LED clear spot light coming out the opposite section of the light bar pointing forward toward the reg plate might satisfy the legal requirements.
savagehenry Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 I say "let the Mechanical speak..." Go with a solid, understated, single color, say, WHITE. ....or perhaps SCREAMING YELLOW ZONKERS!!!!!!!! and I think Monkeys on the right track on lighting up the rear... S.H.
Orson Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 A blue-ish gray or a gun metal gray with orange or maye a dark blue and orange. orange goes with many colors.
biesel Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 Small world ...the youtube movie was uploaded by me after I have asked G&B for permission ...

Skeeve Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 orange goes with many colors. Not so much. Black. Various shades of brown. Green if you want to look like a piece of citrus or a gourd. That's about it!
Admin Jaap Posted February 24, 2010 Author Posted February 24, 2010 I like orange and blue too, good combination, but not on a bike
Dan M Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 I like orange and blue too, good combination, but not on a bike I man I know used to own a company who's logo colors were orange and blue. In the 70's he ordered an Avanti (this is a limited production car based on the old Studebaker and was quite a piece of shit) in the company colors. Orange on the outside, blue seats and door panels with orange carpet. Quite likely the ugliest car I've ever seen. We still service it on occasion and it always draws disparaging remarks from passers by.
