Paint schemes, what to do.....what to do....

Alright, in light of recent events I am replacing my plastics. I have decided to go with a modified set of race
plastics to go with some other parts I have in the shop.

The old rhino line coating was cool and all, but wasn't really my cup of tea from the start. The frame and
everything else on the bike is in perfect shape still so after this, we are good to go. Plus, I have to have
something to do while I heal. I will also be installing my Performance Machine wheels, getting them powder
coated to match the paint scheme.

I would like some input on some Factory Kawasaki schemed paint schemes. I definitely want something
Factory Kawasaki related and it has to look cool.

This is what I have been leaning towards for quite a while (minus the number), but I would definitely like to
see some other good options before I drop big money on a custom paint job.

These are the wheels going on the bike, and they will be powder coated to match the paint scheme.

Personally I like it a lot. But I think only people who know who Eddie Lawson is (not very many in today's day and age unfortunately) would be able to appreciate it. From a purely aesthetics standpoint it's only "okay" (in my opinion) and its cool factor comes primarily from the Lawson reference.

Yeah, that is what I fear it is going to be. I don't want it to look standard.

I want someone to look at it and immediately notice there is nothing standard about it. The black almost does the exact opposite.

Hell do it up in Castrol colors, or Repsoil. ??? Who says it's got to be from a Kawasaki??

I've been thinking of doing the lower half of mine in flat or low gloss black.
Maybe a silver pin stripe to separate the two.? Put the silver stickers back on?

Also the frame would be low gloss black, & raw aluminum for the swinger.....???
