Title: New Color Combo Post by: Goat_Herder on August 15, 2011, 04:20:05 PM I am pretty sick and tired of all the "standard" color combo out there. It's all red/red, red/black, or even yellow/grey. So I am going to out on a limb here and put together something bold. It's a little different then what you are used to. I am sure when you see the results, you will appreciate it. Let me know what you think.
Starting with the front fender. The Ducati Corse emblem on fender has been done too many times. I found some red Ducati lettering sticker that I got awhile ago and put them on. A little tricky with the curvature of the fender. But I like how they turn out. You see the bike coming and you immediately know it's a Ducati! The lime green/Ducati red contrast is pretty sweet, too. (http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo330/toc30/DSC_0001.jpg) Next up, I cleaned out my other sticker folder and started decorating the frame. I have so many. But since the frame is orange, I found 2 that match the color. They look like they are meant to be. [thumbsup] (http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo330/toc30/DSC_0004.jpg) Also put a big o' YUASA Battery sticker right behind the seat. I have a few more stickers but need to find spaces for them. I don't want to over decorate. You know how tacky too many stickers can be. ;) Title: Re: New Color Combo Post by: Bones on August 15, 2011, 06:21:32 PM interesting...withholding comments until can see the whole bike. once it's done we should have a naming contest!

Title: Re: New Color Combo Post by: Goat_Herder on August 16, 2011, 05:13:33 AM I think you guys are being too kind. You should have ripped me for having gone out of my mind. :) Ok, here's some more pics.
Looking at the frame from another angle. (http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo330/toc30/DSC_0003.jpg) Another popular mod was upgrading the horn. I didn't go with the loudest or the most expensive. Just something that I think goes well with the rest of the bike. Here it is. (http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo330/toc30/DSC_0007.jpg) Last pic was the finished product. My daughter (who will be 2 in 2 weeks) absolutely loves it and wants to go riding with daddy every time she sees the bike. HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY, EMMA! ;D [Dolph] [laugh] (http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo330/toc30/DSC_0008.jpg) Title: Re: New Color Combo Post by: SDkid on August 16, 2011, 05:53:14 AM kinda like the end of a movie where the guy wakes up and you realize the entire thing was a dream.
Title: Re: New Color Combo Post by: Punx Clever on August 16, 2011, 07:01:06 AM I was trying to figure out what part of the frame that was... didn't look quite right.

Title: Re: New Color Combo Post by: Goat_Herder on August 16, 2011, 09:16:45 AM LOL, I tried really not to show too much detail. But I am sure people are skeptical since non of the "parts" look right. [laugh]
Title: Re: New Color Combo Post by: ducatiz on August 16, 2011, 09:27:22 AM You, sir, have all my internetz for today.
Title: Re: New Color Combo Post by: Bones on August 18, 2011, 09:30:48 AM lol thought something didn't look right. No motor, but with at least 5 decals that should be worth 20 mph right there!
