    I want to change up my 23 T a bit. I've ran it in DP 90 for 5 years and I think its time for a change. Any ideas? Orange metal flake? A fresh coat of DP 90 again but do some pinstriping?

    When you keep your race motor firing on all cylinders its a good thing. When all cylinders are lit its very loud:D

    Bright multi color candy flake. Avoid any thoughts of something understated. It needs a name, but that will come to you in time.

    yeah my votes in for the orange flake. lay down your base and before it dries just throw confetti at it. my dad did the tank of his bike in the largest flake he could find and it still seemed small.

    I've decided on orange flake for the main color and silver scallops. Can anyone Photoshop that for me?

    If you race at night, light & bright colors will make you more visible, and hot colors (red yellow orange) make you more exciting.
