    Hello. Just wanting everyones opinion. Last fall, out of pity for my son, cause he wanted a good bike & didnt have enough cash for something decent, i sold him my 98 VFR & got me cruiser. My son who is 20 is going to tech school for paint & autobody. He wanted to make his bike more appealling as his 16 year old brother's 1997 CBR600 Smokin Joes was getting all the attention. My wife came up with the Mountain Dew theme as my son is hooked on the Dew. So he tore it down, fixed some panels where he laid it down & sprayed it outside, had some stickers made up, cleared it. He also installed the best looking rear light i have seen for the VFR. Here is the final product. You likey???

    I like the green, looks classy. Tail light looks sweet.

    The big square MD sticker doesn't do it for me though.

    Love the bike, but the Mountain decal could be less, well, obvious. It just seems like an after thought.

    But wow, I love that color. Very cool.

    I like it. Like Jason and Hondajt, I'm not wild about the Dew sticker, but as long as he likes it its his bike. I would have gone bigger with the MD logo, almost covering the side. Made it look like a major race sponsor. Nice job on the tail light.

    Not too many green VFRs out there.

    Looks like he did a great job painting it and I like the green too. I will agree that the mountian dew decal could be a little different. Maybe carry the theme out a little more on the rest of the bike. Just my unartistic view though.... A+ on the workmanship!

    I think it looks pretty damn nice. Of course it reminds me of little E's dew car.
    Easy on the MD though....not real good for you..:redface:

    I agree with action, I'd have taken the sticker all the way across the panel even if some of the letters got cut where the radiator is and stuff thereby making it look more racy. And since you are goin with the race team look, there should be K&N, NGK, Amsoil, etc along the bottom of the shroud like the pros have. Still, it looks good for a first go. I'm just suggesting what I think would set it off. And I love those clear lenses, too.
