My interpretation on the classic 80's speed blocks. It's even done in the original Yamaha pearl white and red.

Sometimes some polish enhances.
This one from former tech wiz Quantime.

Make sure it's not water based lacquer...

Mine is in Black/Black but the second i saw it I thought it needed to be JPS Lotus colours of the 70's & 80's Black and Gold, that way i'll have to get an Ohlins front end so it matches...

I also really like the Marlboro colour's, simple and effective. I agree that black is sexy, but for a daily ride I also like the idea of being easily spotted by dozy car drivers.
