Title: Looking to dark the monster Post by: muskrat on April 11, 2010, 06:59:09 PM Here's what i got and I need your help. Have an 06 S4R with red paint, black stripe and red frame. I don't want to do anything to the engine cases. I started powder coating and now have an addiction to say the least therefore I thought of a Dark monster with red frame. I have PC'd the swing arm, handle bar, risers, lower tripple n plate, headlight ring and yet more to come. Need your suggestions what she should look like. anyone have similar pics?

I'm also looking for ways to make it even darker but keeping some kind of balance. I'd like to see pictures of other forum members dark versions. My bike have a dark frame, but I've actually been playing with the idea of having a Ducati red frame, the picture above is an amazing example!

If thats the case do you have some pics from the shifter side? (sorry for the slight threadjack, I'll post new photos of my own dark for you soon too) Title: Re: Looking to dark the monster Post by: ducrider45 on April 12, 2010, 08:05:27 AM That is a custom swing arm. I made the fender out of a plastic wastebasket.

(http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/vv108/ducrider45/000_1298.jpg?t=1271095333) more info on that exhaust!?!?!?! That is almost exactly what I want to do. Title: Re: Looking to dark the monster Post by: ducrider45 on April 14, 2010, 06:44:45 AM I made it. [evil]
Title: Re: Looking to dark the monster Post by: muskrat on April 14, 2010, 05:38:09 PM good ideas. thanks.
I'm really going for that look I saw on an S2 located in TN somewhere or that Streetfighter project bike with the tattoo design. Title: Re: Looking to dark the monster Post by: NoisyDante on April 17, 2010, 08:12:39 AM Here's my dark. I went with gold forks because I thought even more black may make it muddled in a sort of way, though I've totally seen awesome bikes with black throughout.

Is that a decal or what ? Very original.

Title: Re: Looking to dark the monster Post by: Mojo S2R on April 20, 2010, 02:26:40 AM Bookmarking for ideas. Keep the pictures coming. Those are some awesome looking bikes. [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Looking to dark the monster Post by: Mojo S2R on April 20, 2010, 09:43:18 PM Here's mine. Okay, it's not a dark but it is dark hearted. Still need to CC the pipes and PC the swingarm, rearsets, and kickstand.
