Re:If you had to change the color of your bike 4 Years ago  
If I had to change the color of my bike I would....cry.

Actually I had a Kawasaki that was Blurple and I loved that color, not blue, not purple but some kind of bastardized (can I say that?) mix of the two. kept everybody guessing what color it really was.
Then again my Black Cherry does the same.

Can they make mine any whiter?

If not and I had to change I'd go for a custom paint job that looked like a craps table layout with flaming dice rolling down the table. Or perhaps something like one of the Michael Godard art prints like "Praying for the Seven."

Yes, as a matter of fact I DID have the right-of-way!

When I first got my 05 I thought about changing the color.
Now I'm real happy with it and just want to add custom tank decals of my 'Potty Parrot' tattoo.

Black Cherry Candy. But then I couldn't call her BlackIce and my seat would have the wrong name on it. I'm glad she's black.

Hmm. Black Cherry Candy Ice. It just doesn't roll off the tongue Curt. BlackIce is MUCH better.

Re:If you had to change the color of your bike 4 Years ago  
wait till autumn

the lardmobile is coming off the road so i can fit the wiseco pistons i´ve got (and i must admit to taking out the box and staring lovingly at. engineering porn at it´s best), and at the same time angus will work his magic on the paintwork.

i have an idea for a combination. not seen it done on any bike, but i believe it will turn some heads.

but i´m keeping quiet for the moment

Not sure if they even still make it but a black base coat and Candy Apple Red Diamond Flake would be my choice. Body shop I worked in MANY years ago painted a corvette that color and its been my favorite ever since.
