Just caught up on this thread...

FWIW I vote for the red, I think it looks great and will look even better with the fairing done to match.

I would do the side panels red too if it were mine.

Gold will work with the red if that floats your boat, might look a bit ‘showy’ though. White stands out very well on red, might be worth a thought...

Also I am going to paint the fairing red as soon as it arrives. I’ve been going back and forth on the side panels. I’m leaning painting them red also. It will give it the dimension I’m looking for...I think...still not 100%.

I bought gold stickers. Might see how they look. Can alway go to black or white.
 
I finally bought a set of tires. They should arrive next week. Hopefully by next weekend I’ll have an actual roller!

I’ve read that I need to put a piece of duct tape over the spokes inside the rim to protect the tube, is that correct?
 
I’ve been doing a lot of reading and watching YouTube videos on painting with a rattle can. I may paint it myself. I’ve taken the fender and seat off and I’m doing some wet sanding. The tank actually came out great. I’m going to spray a clear coat over it, wet sand it and polish it and see how it comes out. But first I need to coat it with caswell seal coating. It’s fiberglass and I know the issues. Since this is my fun bike, I’m going to try to use non-ethanol gas. But I’ll still coat it.
 
I would use the rubber strips that go over the spokes, duct tape will create a mess and smash down more than the rubber strips. Just my opinion.
 
You can get the logo's in black with gold edging or vice versus. I think that would look good with red.
 
Black letters w/gold edging sounds hot on red. I'd have to proposition that lady if I met her on the street.... Oh... We're talking bikes.... Still.
 
Go Big Red. Think Ron Wood, Doug Macrae, and the Cornhuskers.

See the other thread and ask those guys. I just recall seeing Swoosh's thread. I dont have a PR, sorry.
 
Let the booing begin.

I THINK I’m caving. I’ve been looking at production racer after production racer and I think I’m going peril yellow.

I know I know, red is cool, red makes it my own; but there’s a reason these are all yellow...they’re Really cool!!!
