    Yeah, I'm still for this look. I think both of our jaws dropped when we saw the attention to detail.

    Too much white for me. Just my opinion, but looks like most here like it.

    The David Bailey replica is sweet looking, but I wouldn't use it.

    I'm not real hip on the gold frame either.

    :( Sorry my wife says I pick everthing apart :(

    This is still fun!!!!! :) :) :) :) :)

    I love it too, but I think Hondas need red and lots of it, sort of like Ferraris. Doug

    Wow! that white ride is not something I would have pictured myself but that thing is striking. Just enough of just the right colors. The rims with the red inners and polished outers are trick. It exudes class. Just like this site.and as as we all know good guys wear white!

    I did originally think white but have grown fon of the black, highkighted with the red anodizing is gonna make it look like a montser. then when its ridden they will know it is.

    If all life is a stage, you would think someone would pick up the mic cords . They are a tripping hazard!

    Compare the black wheels on this
    http://crfsonly.com/forum/album_pic.php?pic_id=1092
    to the red and polished on the jopezz pictured one
    The red and polished looks cleaner, lighter and racier no?

    old dude....this looks good too but i agree the red does pop more and does lok lighter/racier. the white sides on the seat of the other bike helps with that look i think.

    what program do you all use for changing the color of thing in photos? i use macromedia fireworks and can't figure out how to do that.

    the valve cover is aluminum but i don't know if it is PURE aluminum. since it's cast there's a good chance mixed with alloys...which means anodizing wouldn't work well...so, red might not be possible.

    It is all done in Photoshop. I am working on a pattern for the graphics as we speak. I thought I would make a template in illistrator so I can make multiple samples kind of like a scetch book.

    Leo and Ken,
    I'll help with Photoshop wherever needed. I just got back from riding for the past two days, so sorry for the late response. It looks like optaylor has a good start if he is making masks in Photoshop to allow for easy color changes for the plastics and some ano'd parts. Just let me know if you need anything.
