Leave as is or put decals?!?!

[Noobgen3]

So I recently painted my 22 Busa all black. I’ve owned it for less than 30 days but all my other vehicles were black so I wanted this to match as well. My question to the group is should I put the factory decals back or leave the lone color as is? Shoot me your opinions and thanks in advance

I think the decals look good so my vote is to go with decals

I think you should put the side fairing Kanji decals on, but the tank and tail fairings would look fine without decals.

I don’t usually like repaints. I love this.

Have the large center section of those cans powder coated and put the hump on. And give us a few more pics from the side. I had my cans done for $30 each. Depending on the side view I vote no decals, black it all out. 3-4 clear coats wouldn’t hurt either.

See what I mean with this nice Gen2?

Kanji fairing decals, a hump and a pair of carbon Yoshi’s would make that an even more gorgeous ride. You could even do the fairing Kanji’s in a matte black or matte dark gray as a ghost Kanji.

In my opinion, the decals define the bike....without them it will end up being just another black bike..

Something tasteful such as @60+ Busa Rider mentioned would fit the bill.....I like the Gen 3 Hayabusa wording decal as it is clean and stylish and you can design your own version of the Kanji....

It's very unique with no decals, I'd keep it as is and I really like the idea of painting the mufflers black if you're going to keep the stock exhaust. If you want to put the decals on someday, you can do that but I would keep it solid black for at least a year.

Greys and other shades of black contrast well against that gloss as well.

Kanji fairing decals, and a rear cowl.

2008/2009 Kanji that turns from a yellowish to red at different angles. Sick!

Working with a company out of Katy to get some custom matte Kanji’s. Thinking that should suit the bike perfectly and still have that sleek look im looking for. I appreciate all the input.

I’m pulling the trigger on the exhaust next month but I’m really leaning towards voodoo because of the black and more hidden exhaust look. Not really into the big bazookas I have now or the other brands have as well. What’s everyone’s opinions on their exhaust set ups? Would you change anything or do you love them as you have it now?

If you want short black exhaust...go with a Brocks Alienhead or similiar...something that makes power, is as loud, but has better sound than the Voodoo.
To each their own, and I'm not knocking anyone's style...but Voodoo makes autopart store muffler tips, stuffs a screen in them, and instead of $20...they're now $400
No disprespect...it's just that alot of us can't get past that.

I have twin Yoshimura carbon body/carbon tip, love the looks of twin, really easy to clean and keep my swing arm clean. Sounds really good but if I had to complain about something I would like them just a little bit louder.

I prefer the duals, and carbon fiber as well...much less heat radiating off of the mufflers.

Nada !!!. Silhouette says it all.

Your choice, at least the kanjis

Well, if he can find the kanji like mine, that changes color as you walk past.
