I think it turned out well.

Doubt its my final color but until i find black front fairing and a black tail it will do.

Nice shade of blue. Looks metallic. Why not paint the rest rather than wait for spare plastics?

I like the blue, but it looks out of place mismatched. I'd certainly like to see it after you get everything painted to match.

Taking it in to have rear shock fixed, Likely will do the lower rear in blue as well. Doesnt seem balanced to me, blue rear and white pillon cover would look good.

Either all white lowers or black. I like the wheel color, but that's too much blue with the fairing.

Looks good - what paint are you using (Centauri)? Be careful of the H-D livery - it REALLY attracts asphalt on Buells:

Needs tiger stripes. Then it would be Grrrrrrrrreat!

I really like the current shade of blue you did. Maybe mask off the tail piece and leave some white area under the seat to break up the blue. With a complimentary accent of blue to the white front fairing...
