    What color is the color for me?

    I am drawing a blank on what color i want to paint my f2/monster hawk bike. If you guys can throw out some color ideas it would be very helpful.

    Thank you

    There's something about a black hawk that I just love but I'm also partial to a nice orange/amber with black wheels

      I think a nice glossy red or black for one with a monster look... although it might be a little too monsteresque (if that's even a word).

      BTW, how did taking that gas cap off the F2 tank go? What method did you end up using?

          North Carolina Blue with a black racing stripe, and black wheels?

          That'd be striking... I considered that scheme myself.

              I drilled the gas cap out. It took about 20min and it was not pretty. I have glass black rims if that helps with the paint color choice.

              Thank you

                      That shade of blue you are speaking of is actually called "baby blue".

                        Honda's should be Red.

                        Although you could try an old race rep scheme and do it up white?
