I really like the blacked out look of the yellow ST as that's pretty much what I did to my RS. There's no chrome on my RS and I like it like that. The problem is there's too much yellow for me so I've been painting and adding graphics in my head (that's the only way I can do it) and I've come up with most of what I want to do.

On the hood O plan on doing a graphic like this in the middle panel to carry the black down from the console.

I'm thinking both side access panels need to be black too along with the front fender supports. I plan on going with the Corbin bags and those would be black too. I had to decide if I want to go with a gloss black or a semi gloss black. I may even go with the Timeless Black like my trailer and then it would all match. As you can tell I'm getting really excited about this project.
:yes::2excited:

So what are your plans for customizing your ST if any? :popcorn:

for me all three modells need two different colours - should be possible if you order -5454954550 to select all the plastics in what colour you like to make it individual without a price change ..
met an RSS on the weekend - thats it !!
(the other one is RED BULL - also an Austrian company..)

would be nice of our fotoshop users could make some ST-colour-samples ..:thumbup:

I think that our very own Randy (Arntufun) layed down some very nice black accents on his GS... Perhaps there's an idea or two lurking in his results? :thumbup:

Our Buddy Arr had some really cool "Clockworks" graphics worked out for his RT... perhaps that can be adapted to the ST design? :dontknow:

How long do you think it'll take before Pete has spun some new designs for this model?

I'd tone down the yellow with black paint or graphics on the hood and fenders, basically a two tone system like the RS-S but with a lot more personal style. Black and yellow look great together.

I'd also seriously consider doing something with the Black Currant color of the ST Limited. That would be radically new and different.

Now what will I do for graphics and or paint.....I love the graphics on my RS....1st I have to decide if my ST will be ST-S then metallic gray...ST Limited can't make up my mind...think white...but I need to see the colors in real life...the only color I have seen is the Metallic Gray/Black ...I liked the color...what ever I do it will have pink on it..

I don't dislike the yellow, but the magnesium for me, as I prefer the subtle look. We wont see these in NZ for quite some time, so plenty of time to save some $s and work out what to do to it :D

We've seen some Blue bikes with Silver striping; so I also like yours! :2thumbs:
Pete probably even has a kit for that!

I borrowed the blue stripes from an image Pete has of blue on a white RT. I am not a fan of yellow, but the silver ST needs a shot of color somewhere in my opinion.

Another thought is to add some red like the silver/black/red RSS
