    Favorite color combination for a 250R

    What's your favorite color combination for a 85-86 250R? I am hoping to build another one this year, for next years ice, and I have been tossing around ideas. I was thinking all black, with red tank shrouds, red frame, chrome, and polished everything on the motor, and a chrome swingarm. Possibly red vinyl flames extending off the shrouds onto the tank. Maybe a red seat. Polished aluminum rims, or maybe anodize the rims black. I'm not to worried about getting it messed up, cause it will be for the ice only. They don't get dirty out there, just beat up by ice chips.

    Also been wondering about using the new color chromes on the frame, but I don't think it's good to chrome a frame? I remember hearing that chroming suspension parts weakens them. Anyway, I am having trouble visualizing it.

    If you got pictures, or links to pictures, that would be cool.

    White swing arm and shocks, yep black plastic sounds good, Green frame like grave digger, green rims. with red tank. Chrome engine if you want. White or red seat, I am thinking white seat for sure.
    Yeah that will be twisted cool.

    My plan now that I have officially declared my R my wedding present to my self and a money pit just like a damn boat im going all black plastic, green or silver vein frame, polished mounts, cold black motor possibly matte black for motor have not decided yet, black satin swinger, probably black pegs as well, there is a guy here locally that can dip plastics and make them look carbon fiber but I have not decided on that yet or not, I gotta get the tank done for sure though

    I like the grave digger look.

    I once saw an orange and black Harley cafe racers. The frame was orange. It looked really cool. I would love to do one orange and black too. I would probably have to get some white plastic parts, and dye them. I would go with orange frame, tank shrouds, and seat, the rest black. Maybe even an orange swinger. Black rims, with orange pinstripes on them.
