| Color my Bike The Erion scheme is wearing thin on me, and was always on the "busy" side, IMO. A decal-ectomy would leave the bike looking like pic 2. I like it, but it needs something. (I tried a gold Honda wing on the tank and it looked like a CHP bike  ).
Give me some ideas. Photoshop away. Even if you're digi-graphics skills suck (like mine), just do enough to give me the idea. I think there are at least a couple graphics/decal pros in this group...maybe you guys can sell me something? |

| Re: Color my Bike Being that the Erion Edition was a limited edition you would probably be better off selling the plastic or trading them for some others with money thrown in to boot. Then paint away. |

| Re: Color my Bike I'm gonna have to go with keeping the erion an erion. get another 929 and go custom on its ass. but the erion does have the big plus of the blacked out frame and swingarm

| Re: Color my Bike My bike is getting painted this year as well. Was thinking about making it all black w/ sprinkles in the paint, like a graphite scheme. I have a 01 929 as well but i have custom black and yellow seats. So I dont know what i want to put on the fairing my self. I like the black and at the bottom white fairing but gotta make it different. Like Honda wings or whatnot. |
