Deceided to change the color of the lettering to match the wheels:

Whatta ya think? Added the stripes and re-worded the lettering on the tail...

Here's the tail and a look at the stripe on the side panels...

I'm not sure I like the stripes on the upper fairing??..

Makes it look like a different bike when viewed from the front....

Should I keep the stripes on the front????

I like the color-matched "Ducati", and I love the color-matched re-wording on the tail. The stripes on the front above the turn signals? Nice but I'm not sure yet. I looks pretty nice.

BTW: I'm going to paint the Dzus fasteners GOLD!!

Got ya...how 'bout this one on the side??

This one, the straight horizontal one... I don't know yet but I need to see it from further away.

The one above the turn signals: that one's growing on me especially from the front.

Front view....

Here's another pic of the side panel...remember that the bike is up on a stand and when it's on the ground this stripe should be barely visible except when at a distance and looking from a low vantage point:

I think I like these,,,but just not sure about the front (upper)...when I moved away and viewed the bike directly from the front..it looked like a BMW RS model??? Not sure if that's a good thing

Anything can easily be removed...(until it bakes in the heat for awhile)...so I have time to deceide.
Thanks for the input.

I don't know. It looks kinda gimmicky to me. I like a bolder contrast of white or back lettering against the red and I think the stripes detract from the lines of the bike by drawing your eyes towards them rather than the bike itself. Just my

Stick,

I know what you mean...thinking of losing the upper fairing stripe...then make a decision on the other one.I'm wondering if the "DUCATI" on the side would look better with a black outline?? Hmmmmm

I like the simplicity and spartaness of the Ducati, in re graphics, the only other line close is Triumph. The MV Augusta, Aprilia, all Jap bikes look to busy to me. If it's graphics you want . . .

TrickLidz · #17 (**permalink**) 01-25-2006, 07:55 PM

OK.
I removed the stripes on the upper, painted the Dzus and screws gold....

I'm gonna leave it like this for awhile.

What's the deal with the levers? To my old eyes they appear gold colored. Is this just impaired chromatic perception or have they been modified or changed from stock?
