Help with paint on Vmax

Ok guys, I need your opinion on which is the better 'look" for my Yamaha Vmax motorcycle. You can see the pics attached.


#1 - Right side has all Flat black accents with exception of satin alum accents on cylinder heads. Flat black bodywork w/ vinyl graphics.

#2 - Left side has satin aluminum accents on motor, scoop & side cover. Flat black bodywork w/ vinyl graphics.

Does Monster Pay you to have their logo? if not I would just go one color and leave the logo off.

Re: Help with paint on Vmax

Id get a front fender, it can be cut short in front but back section keeps ya from tossing sutff into the rad [ if ya had no rad, would get your engine dirty]

Then move the rear fender back / remove about half of it.

Id use your seat for paint desing and color inperation, matte sides, satin top, the seat is just so much of the bike, I couldn't help but implement it into things. like a seat, side covers n truck in one......

If your gonna lean with flat bar like that, you need a mini faring to make leaning worth it, just a smal head light one with tiny shield that get air kicked up to go over your head.
