Looking for some opinions on color choices for the 350X I am getting rready to start on. The frame is powdercoated Honda red. I was considering white swingarm and fork lowers. Red on the front hub and rear wheel huds as well as brake rotor hub and sprocket hub. Probable white fenders. Any input would be appreciated.

Yeah I really like the look of white lower fork legs on a trike. I would also like to see the swing arm white. Maybe red plastic. Ya can't have to much white.
Check my feedback before buying from me

You could also use a little blue in there too, it would give it a kinda patriotic look.

One look that I like is all white and red. That would be white fenders, red hubs, red seat, red gas tank scoop, and red fork boots. Also you could make the 350x sticker on the rear fenders red with a silver or black colored 'X'.
A white swingarm looks nice but better to just chrome it. Unless you keep the trike super clean its going to get thrashed looking soon.
There is an ATC 250R (in the last page of the readers rigs section) that would be the opposite color scheme of hwat I suggested since its fenders are red but you can see that you don't need blue for the trike to look nice.
Also look at the 1989 Honda Fourtrax 250R. It was red and white with NO blue and looked awesome. I sometimes like to think of a color scheme that Honda might have used if they kept making the trike. The 89 Fourtrax is a very good example of this.

The only problem with that is, you need to make sure that it is flex paint. Since the plastic flexes alot. Or you could always take it to a paint shop and they could mix it for you...........peace
