Help me design a suit...

OK, so, based on peer pressure alone, I went out and bought a new suit. (OK, maybe not only peer pressure...)

Here's the gallery of me riding the new bike for your reference.

I want to make it mainly black/grey/chrome/white. I want the butt and chest to be black to hide the dirt. The rest of it is open. I chose style 26, though if you want to try others have at it.

The rear shows three splotches, but I will have a speed hump, and I don't think those will be there.

http://www.zoonileathers.com/al26.html

I was thinking of working in just a bit of red or blue...haven't picked out my helmet yet though.

Here was the first attempt. For chrome, somehow note it with another color, maybe light blue (cuz I don't want it anyway).

So, let's see you all get creative.

I say just go all black. That will match your stealthy charcoal bike.

If you have a print screen shot, just paste it into a photo editor or even into word and attach.

Yeah...haven't found a way to really get any in while trying to stay relatively stealth though.

That looks like a good instructor's suit.

Re: Help me design a suit...

I'm a fan of the lighter suits. I really think you should do a chrome/silver/white on the back. That area gets pounded by the sun and I noticed a HUGE difference when I switched from my black/purple/yellow and black/red suits to a white/silver/red/black setup. I didn't fatigue or sweat near as much.
My next one will be similar with a majority of silver or white.
