What colour should I get shock spring powdercoated?

Post by silentRVF »

I'm getting a WP shock which is currently white but has a couple little chips in it.

I personally love that aqua colour of the Nitron shocks but I also like white.

What colour do you guys think would look best with my bike? I'm thinking maybe light blue?

Easy, red.

But if you're asking, which of white or light blue, I'd go with the same light blue as on the front fairing. 8-)

hmmm red would look nice too but I don't really like just the plain blue, red and yellow springs found in gsxr/blades etc..

My favourites would probably be white, light blue and the aqua colour of the Nitron shocks.

Has anyone seen a light blue spring (pics?) on a bike?

I think I might go to my powder coaters tomorrow and see if they can do an aqua colour. If not, I'll probably go white or light blue :)

There's only one colour it should be if you want it to look the best... ;)

Sorry guys I've just realised this thread is pointless. Obviously RED will be the fastest colour!! :o ;)
