Tuff decisions, need some opinions

Hello Everyone,

Yes its me (speed) lol, I have been gone for a couple of years, just got caught up with family and life, but I'm back.
So when I left I had my 86 750 all torn apart to chrome the frame and swing arm, well that all done and its about time I took these boxes of parts and put my ride back together, after all I cant I cant drive a truck forever.

Ok so I got everything out and started assembling it and stopped, if I went to all the trouble of chrome why would I put it back together with old paint so ..... a few questions

1. repaint with the factory colors and new decals
2. do something Crazy to match all the chrome, after all with all my mods on this ride it scrams bad ass already.

so I was thinking, like the base coat of maybe yellow twist or a lime green like the Plymouth cuda's were, but I'm not hung up on green
and ghost flames.
so if I could get your options on colors and type of flames and colors of flame ? speed

 

Holy Batman..........Your name is Speed but take you that long to get the Ole girl together? :jaw:
Good to see you resurface hommie :thumbsup:
I would have her paint to the original paint sheme

 

I think Honda got the colours absolutely right on this bike. Keep it stock.

 

Another vote for the stock color scheme.

 

Good to see you again, I say stock.

 

My vote is for the "Mr. Dip" pain scheme.

 

Stock, for sure, just color match that fender. It's a gnarly looking bike the way it sits. That exhaust is pretty badass too. I'm thinking of getting rid of my 4-2-1 and going with some upswept duals like that. Is it a custom job?

 

Looks pretty good the way it is

 

Red, white and blue are a great combination of colors. Repainting a VFR in the stock patterns is boring.

Ghost flames are oot! I think the guy who invented those just ran oot of paint..

Stick with the original colors but line up the red white and blue from the fairing to the fender

 

I've always been a keep it original type person. My vote is keep the stock paint scheme as well.

 

MY VOTE....STOCK PAINT, or if your really set on painting go for that beautiful 8 gen pearl white.....

That certainly is a pain scheme compared to the Honda original paint schemes.

Who the hell is Fear anyway? A stripper near you?

 

Da Stock Rocks!

Stock paint is usually timeless. 1986 Honda VFR750 is a case in point.

 

IF you are repainting anyway then I'd go for something striking and different. Neon green / yellow. Candy apple red (mmmmmmm). SOmething that turns heads though!

 

Im at the point like I said where If I have to repaint then why not do something different ? I really like the factory look of white. red and blue, Im kinda 50% for stock colors and 50% for crazy something to turn heads but my forks kinda do that now.
the crazy side of me says a bright yellow and light gray ghost flames, however like it was said ghost flames are out in this day. I think over the tail light in small letters ( mid life crisis ) LOL. I am taking the forks apart to reseal them so I will have the lower housings chromed. I am so picky so I will have to do all the paint and decals myself so it wont be that hard to go nutz. I need to decide soon I want to get back to riding and meet ups.

 

sorry for the double post.
one the fairing I want to put our vfrworld.com decals. but where ? I was thinking towards the bottom on each side ?

 

I'm liking the basically stock color theme, but with updated tints/paints that really pop!
Like the pearl white instead of regular, and brilliant metallic blue and red replacing the standard paints. Clear-coat, and embed VFR decals if you so desire.....

 

I'm in the stock or updated stock crowd.

 

badassness comes from the bike and and its proportions and features, not a paint scheme. I say remain stock, tweak it if you want but these original schemes were designed to give better proportion to the fairings and add or remove visual weight to areas that looked awkward.
