Ok,

Based on your feedback from my , I've thrown together some more images based on the most popular picks from last vote.

http://www.pseudocode.org/hayabusa/paint2.png

I agree that the last version was too busy, so I cleaned up the front fender, tweaked the colors a bit and added a few new variations. The Emperor is a mix between the Warrior and The Assassin, The Tiger is a black version of Rising Sun, and Venom is a more traditional look for those who thought the graphics were just ugly to begin with.

Let me know what you guys think! I will be painting my bike the colors you all pick.
 
Venom or Asassin ... <--- narrowed it too 2

I still like the assassin best as far as going with something custom and i like what you did with the pictures getting a more 3d look to them... I can see the sun's stripes will meet up symmetrically in the front but i also think that you should tweak the orientation of the sun on the bike a bit more to get the lines to flow better with the body lines... (if that makes any since) It sure makes for a cool one off paint job though! I also love the venom as well...i think the Hayabusa was just meant to be all black! I would love to see the finished product! Good luck!!
 
Venom is sweet! Looking from the front the others still look too busy, but from the side it breaks up the lines a bit and looks good also. It's you a$$ in the saddle so make it fit ya. Nice work
 
Try this, make the base color bright and the stripes the dark color. This should give you the flash your looking for, without having an over the top look about it.
 
I'm wondering if it's possible to give the rays of the sun a swept back look, as if they are being blown back by the speed of the bike . . . . It would fit the bike lines a little better.

MUCH more custom, however. I don't think you could just mask that on!

BTW, great job pre-planning. At least you know what you'll have before you slap the paint on!

--Wag--
 
venom or asassin, but i think the asassin would show the lines of the bike better if the red sunrays with white outline would fade to black up towards the nose so that the nose area is all black. fade it out at an angle following the lines of the bike on the side of the nose.

you could even fade out all around the sunrays, so the top and tail is black also.

just my .02

Ultimately your the one that's gonna have to see&ride your bike day in and day out. Find a scheme that appeals to you and you only. Even if you can't decide, wait till you can. I do a bit of custom paintwork myself and the best ways to get ideas is to scan bike mags. Anything from Easy rider to Superstreetbike. Look at as much stuff as you can.
Whatever you do don't rush it, it'll come. The worst is when you decide on something and end up hating it down the road.
 
What are you using to do the mock up? Photoshop? Surely, you're not.

House of Kolor has a painting tool that does this kind of thing. I'm trying to find one similar to that, myself.

I like the Rising Sun, Assassin, Venom... that order. Nice mock-ups!
