hahaha I did the same thing but mine came out like ****. Every time I rode it someone asked some kind of question about it. My favorite was these harley guys asked if it was a nitrous tank hahaha of course I told them it was hahaha. I like it!

Nope, I like subtle and a pipe needs to be almost invisible IMO.

"INFLATABLE RAFT LOCATED UNDER ENGINE"

I think your wheels in that color and a black muffler would look fantastic, but who cares what I think, it's your bike.

Hey man, I have to give you props for giving it a try! I'm not really a fan for contrasting colors though so the blue chin fairing right next to the orange exhaust doesn't do it for me. Maybe if the rims were orange or blue so the entire bike was contrasting...

But i just hope that YOU like it :)

Thanks for the comments, i think orange rims would be awesome too but for now this was a quick deal while changing oils..i have black paint in stock to change it when i get tired of it!

No boast your opinion, thats what the guy wants. I personally think too many colors make a bike look like a toy (Jap bike) so i think metal should keep its natural look. (polished is nice or a metal coating)
Props for thinking outside the box.

it is your bike but you asked for an opinion on it, so here goes !
little to much red ,it really jumps out at you , looks somewhat out of place ..... would look better same blue as the Buell or better yet Black ,

and I have to agree with onelogue on the to many colors, ESCPECIALLY BRIGHT colors , because to me they take away from what the BUELL is all about, yet i would also say that real and some limited edition replica Race Bikes are excluded from this,but some still look to crazy & off the wall with every inch covered in sponser stickers(yes i know sponsers are needed, but some need to think out the paint job and sponser placement better!!)

maybe try blue with red stripes down the side of the muffler....

Would've liked it if it was painted blue! Don't have a problem with the orange, just think it would be slick in blue.
