    If I had too much money and a garage I'd get a white one and paint it like a whale.
    Maybe.

    Mine is as close to naked as you'd want to get one of these; I even trimmed down the windscreen. I've tried to come up with a theme for painting it (not worried about resale value, salvage title and all) but only an Alien or Borg theme would really work with all of the exposed tangle that was never engineered to be seen, and I'm kind of way too fond of shiny red things (or shiny red bits in this case), so.

    You could go full Ferengi and torrent it (there are one or two high quality files on offer as I understand). Then again your majestic screen would probably reveal too much degradation after formatting and burning to DVD.

    I think any custom work on a PC is great. A more down to earth paintjob could be like the busses seen in India, Thailand and the Philipines. A full set of Givi luggage would be a nice touch too. Finish one off with some neon lights and some LED's and you have a sure winner.

    I don't have all that much taste and would probably be satisfied with putting Harley decals on one if I had one.

    Oh I like the LED's, so sign me up for the no sense of taste mailing list.
    If I had a few bucks to waste on a pointless upgrade, ground effects under the built in luggage would be good.

    As much as I actually love what the PC is, I'm stuck for ideas that express whimsy and awe at the same time... LED's go in that direction, kinda'.

    Have you given thought of maybe converting it into a chopper?

    <thread permanently derailed, sorry folks>

    I'm looking for suggestions, so thanks for that one, but when I'm riding this bike I get the Sesame Street pinball machine song running through my head (it's all about the ramps).
    YouTube - Sesame Street Pinball Cartoon - Pinball Number Count

    The reason that I'm selling the K-75 and keeping this is that it feels so much better; no way I'm messing with that.
    LED's are still a good option, though. Maybe I should lean in the direction of art deco, too.

    1 2 3 4, 5, 6 7 8 9, 10, 11-12!

    I agree, there is nothing like the taste of fresh ramps. They are basically fair game in all but Quebec where possession of more than the specified amount is against the law.

    A PC is much too bulbous a platform for Art Deco IMO. Following the female form in the style of Erte' as a single exponent we find svelte and curvaceous rather than some porker with a lardy behind on the back of a Harley as a look. There was a time where some foxy mammas were shown riding HD's but that went out with the JD and my Great Gramma.

    I should have been clicking the "Thanks" before that but I finally remembered to do so because it was babblicious.

    Though for the record I like big butts (the PC for a specific example, and women in general).

    Had Honda done just a little more research on American butts, IMO the PC's aft would have been modeled after J Lo.
