I have a white and blue '09. could someone show me what it would look like if I got the frame painted red? how about a red frame and a red swing arm? thanks I was thinking about a red white and blue scheme. I just removed my frame for a valve check. |

Hey not too shabby! If you could get a red color with a sheen on there that resembles the black or blue metallic frame / swing arm colors I think that would be pretty cool. |

Been thinking of doing this exact thing to my race bike. |

I agree, but sometimes less is more. Maybe a red Buell decal on that white tank would break it up a little too. Hey Rodrob - how about this on a red CR. |

If you make the frame red, you need to make the wheels red too. |

"If you make the frame red, you need to make the wheels red too." I respectfully disagree. The blue wheels contribute to the Red White and Blue theme. I'm going to mock up my race bike like this with blue wheels, bellypan and front fender to see how it plays. |

Thanks for the compliment on my Flag Bike. But I agree that less is more on a race bike. I found that I have no room for sponsorship decals on the Flag Bike and maintenance is a bear, which is why I have been looking at simpler but similar executions of the theme. |
