Actually John, the bike in matt gray looks beautiful, just leave it like that, its grand.

John I think it looks very good in the matt grey. I think if you were to put the military stencils on it that would finish it off really well. I would not go overboard with the stenciling but a sublte XT660R on the tank/rad panel would complete it. For me this looks better than the blue and my bike is blue!

Looking in the gallery there is a military photoshopped XT and that looks brilliant. If I had the balls I would do the military thing also because the bike is suited to it especially the R version like yours.

10 out of 10 (stencilled up).

I'm with Fran, the Grey looks boss mate. I have uploaded a rough comp of the vignette idea in the gallery ( http://www.xt660.com/gallery/showimage.php?i=607), see what you think?

Nice job though, have you done a lot of spray jobs? Was it easy?

Pict uploaded but I don't see any difference ??

It's ver subtle, just a bit o' black blending up from the bottom and on the nose of the mud flap. Just playin'

forget the stickers and leave the bike as it is now. It looks great

Any updates or thoughts on what you are going to do now you have taken the plunge on the paint job.

I eagerly await you response and pictures.
