Default Opinions on my tail piece

A few said they didnt like my bike wit the black tail piece on it. Well i found a pick of the same bike with the black wheels and the stock tail as a comparison.
So what you guys think? Stock color tail? or black? I think the black will look better. Or what about if i paint the tail blue to match the graffics? Can anyone photoshop it for me?

Opinions, suggestions? Im thinking about getting a hugger for the rear too

Anywhay here is the bike with the white tail




Here is mine with the tail how it is now. Its just flat black. IM going to gloss paint it if i decide to keep it black.





Heres what the tail looked like before i fucked with the bike.

before as in the stock 1k tail as in how i got it , or before the pic i stole from the net of the other bike with the white tail?

I never had intentions of keeping it flat black, just havent decided on pain yet. I think it looks weird with a white tail and black wheels. i think when i got it it looks really good. I was going to attempt to make it look like the stock 1k tail again like i had it

like this pic




can anyone photoshop the tail all blue for me?

i think i actually like the blue alot. keeps it in conformaty. you think it will overall look ok with the black accnts of the windshield and front fender, wheels and such?

I wonder how hard it will be to match that blue to get paint?

Pete, I'm gonna go against the grain here and say that the black looks the best.

The white looks ok, but still too busy. If you could make it all white with no graphics on the back, I'd say do that, but I really like the way it looks now and if I were in your position, I wouldn't spend the extra money to change it.

-Ross, who is a sucker for flat black.

if it stays black. Im deff gonna gloss it. and try to get the orig blue grphic like it was and the orig Red 750 logo so it doesnt look soo bleh. I think it looked pretty decent before, but no one liked it. I think it went with the wheels, front fender and winshield very well
