This winter I plan to tear down my recently purchased M900 (see first pic below) and repaint as the frame has battery acid damage and tank has a few dings/scratches.  I know I want to go red with the frame, but am slightly torn between what color to go with the tank and front fender.  I was pretty set on the gloss black like the 695 set up, but then I saw some pics today of a titanium s4r and got a nice warm IZ_ feeling inside.  Red on red also looks nice.  I'm wondering what color combo of the three below people think is best?

The Ti with the red frame is hot, but Black with the gold frame like you have is classic.  waytogo

Black with black frame  Tongue



Red on red looks hot on the old bikes too, so does red on a gold frame.

yeah, my last monster (750) was red on gold and I did like that...but I'm pretty stuck on the red frame for this one.  I'm leaning towards Ti right now.

I should also note that the tail is getting chopped and I will probably chop a few inches (less than last bike, especially since these cans are completely cored) off of the cans and paint them black

the titanium with the red frame hits hard for me. I'd do that but use a different tank badge to set it apart.

Yeah, that's where the Ti/Red pic is from and reading that is when I really starting considering this scheme.

Thats my sheeot right there Smiley  I like it, but I warn you the eggshell paint isn't easy to care for..  It doesn't take kindly to ANY kind of stains, road tar or grime, etc..

If/when I repaint, I'll be doing the same color....but it'll be glossy and easier to care for.

Yes, yes it would.

Now I just have to wait for winter. Only another couple of months away up here in Maine.
