    A great author and philosopher once said, "To bling or not to bling, that is the question." lets answer that question here. This where we should select everything having to do with the appearance of this bike. This means the color of the plastics, seat, triple clamps if after market clamps are selected, hubs, rims, frame (yes, the frame it can be anodized any color), bars, grips, tail light, etc. it could mild to wild. have fun.

    I don't see anything wrong with a good looking bike as long as it can back it up which this baby will surely be able to do :D
    I like the black look more then the shiny look, but would be happy either way.

    Red radiator gaurd's,
    Works red protection
    Carbon disk protection
    Red engine bling
    Black clutch cover
    Red resevoir caps
    Crfs only graphics

    First thing that i would change is the headlight plastic (visor) looks like an alien, i like the baja designs plastic, but don't know if you could get only the plastic without having to change the hole thing (light, stator "expensive").

    Black seat cover with better grip material. Like that old school look of a black seat. Would go with just about any other color scheme for the bike. Factory Effex makes a nice one.

    Ok, we'll here's the throrrle workx bling that will be here very soon that I'll donate in your choice of color of course.

    -Aluminum Dipstick
    -Aluminum Tranny Fill Cover plug (matches dipstick)
    -Aluminum tank cap for Coolant overflow
    -Aluminum Oil filter cover

    I do agree that it should be a mixture of red and black to set off the colors and not be a big mono tone thing.

    Oh by the way, I'm partial to the Acebris light. Someone had it on their supermoto on here and it looked way cool!

    I think for this bike unneeded bling will look bad. Stuff like the Rekluse clutch cover, and all the other after market parts will bing this thing out enough. Also go ahead and put on the CRFSONLY graphics....

    I'm into the red and black too,and the more bling the better.
    With that big aluminum frame the red and black are contrasted well.
    Yes to the bling ! Doug

    I would say stick to the red and black combo. I think if it were all black it wouldn't really look like a Honda. I like things like the black or red rims, cool CRF's Only graphics, with stickers of the company names that we used for our mods. Maybe a Guts seat?

    EDITED

    I like the Idea of red blac combo

    Red(mostly)
    Rad cap
    Triple clamp
    Timing covers
    Tranny cap
    oil dipstick
    Smog Block
    Valve cover vent
    Rear Caliper guard
    Skid Plate w/guards
    carb hot start
    Float bowl nut
    Master cylinder covers
    Controls
    Wheel spacers
    Zip Ty axle adjuster
    Flatland or Unibker Rad guards

    Black
    Fastway case saver
    Scotts shark fin
    Fastway rear linkage(its adjustable)
    Fastway clutch cable braket
    steering stem nut
    Steering spanner nut
    shock spanner nut
    Black Renthal fatty bar
    Rekluse clutch cover
    rear sprocket.

    I originally thought white plastic but think all this would really look great on a black bike. I also love the idea of that black Acerbis head light. White #plate back grounds red and black outlines and black #'s Black seat and try to squeeze sponsors on fenders and shrouds. of course CRFsOnly graphics(I don't think that should be an option.
    Well thats all I can think of off the top of my head.

    Honda red with black. Yes some red anodizing would be cool like, rims, triple clamps, red unabikers, rotor protection, motor plugs etc... I think anadizing the frame would be too much. OFG
