If your body panels is red then go either all white rims or all black or chrome. if going chrome don't paint it with chrome paint because its going to look like crap. get it chrome dipped.
Nothing like getting stroked!

You have to think outside the box when customizing and if you think your scooter is "just a spree".Then customizing is what you really don't want to do to it.

I say black and red or white and red.

If you are going to do the white stripe on the tranny case then I would do white but also paint the remaining black parts red or white as well. They look out of place in the photo above. At least to me.

p.s. I voted black/red a while ago, but I'm just always biased towards black

its hard to imagine anything else though with the rest of the bike all red
projects galore :nerd:
