Hi. This is my first post.

I have a gsx-r600 blue and white which I see all over the place. I want to make mine stand out more. I have always liked the way the flat black finish looks on bikes. I was thinking about changing the white to the flat black. I just don't know how it would look with the existing metallic blue, which I don't really want to change.

Has anyone seen this kind of color scheme that can tell me if it looks good? It seems like it would look good, I'm just not sure. I would appreciate any feedback.

Here's how it turned out if anyone's interested.

I'm still working on it. got a lot of ideas. Hedn't thought about the foot pegs but sounds like a good idea. I'm very happy with my progress so far. Thanks for the compliments.

I think it looks good!!

The passengers footpegs match the rearsets. If you paint the passenger footpegs, you'll want to paint the rearsets to match. Ever thought about losing the footpegs and putting an undertail kit on?

Thanks. It's really cheap Wal-Mart paint right now. One day I'll get it done by a pro.
