Hey guys,

Getting closer to pulling the bike ('99 600 Dark) apart and having it powder coated, was planning to just go all black initially. And although I'm still going to do the engine and belt covers (and probably tank too) in satin black, I'm now leaning towards doing the frame red - with either the wheels painted red also, or with red wheel stripes at the least.

Does anyone have any photos of (non 696/1100) red & black monsters they'd care to share? I've found a couple so far, but not many.

Cheers,

Mark

I wanted to go the red frame/black bodywork route but forwhatever reason I ended up with a black framed bike  [thumbsup]
If you do end up doing the red frame aginst the black bodywork I would def. ditch the side covers to show more of the frame off (my opinion)...

Thanks guys, very interesting that so many of us also have Rizoma Class Retro mirrors - I guess great minds do think alike!  ;D What do you guys think about red wheels with the black bike and red frame? I just keep finding myself thinking that it needs a little extra red to really set off the colours.

Yummy. Black with red frame is my second favorite color combo, right behind pearl white with red frame.  [thumbsup]

Well that pretty much settles it - that's the look I've been thinking about (bar the windscreen)  [thumbsup]

Do you have any more photos you'd care to share? [popcorn]
