i'm partial to the blue with black myself ; )

altho, the yellow with black is nice too.

they look better if the subframe/seat support is black'd out as well.

see profile for a pic.

Simple, did you remove the subframe to paint it or paint it on the bike? It looks like a bitch to remove with all the electronics in there.

Paul, actually i bought the bike like that.
wish i could give you an idea on difficulty.

my guess is it shouldnt be much harder then removing some screws/ nuts+bolts here and there. take pictures before and during for reference on reassembly. shouldnt be too bad IMO.

Cityxslicker - Well I certainly did you a little proud this weekend. Took the bike down her first gravel road. She is dusty and dirty, but it was a dry road so no mud, but I'll keep my eye out for some

All orange, but I'd recommend painting the center piece of the chine spoiler (directly behind the wheel) black. That gets gunked up pretty bad. Krylon Fusion "satin black" works perfectly, and is surprisingly durable.
