Poll Question: What color? The UPS guy brought my A-Tech bodywork today. I would have to rate it's quality right up with Sharkskinz! Except the A-Tech is much lighter, comes with much better mounting hardware, and took me all of an hour to mount on the bike.
Here's some pics of the bike so far:
So what color / paint scheme do you think it should be? I'm interested in hearing what you think but will give some easy answers for folks to vote on in the poll. The wilder the paint scheme, the more I'm interested!

Black... ... totally devoid of color and light.
Kinda like how everyone else will be totally devoid of any chance in catching it.
Kinda like the darkness of their dreams of even getting close to it.
For black is like the Omega. It is the end. It will be the only view of this bike that will be shared by all that attempt to share both space and time with it... The End.

Color I recommend Kawasaki Green (The original bright green) with a black and while checkered flag built in, and maybe some Maroonish red accents.

That is one nice piece of kit. Now I am really gealous. I know I am a pain in the butt but could you tell me how much each individual piece cost and also if Atech have a web site.
This ain't cheap, figure on spending one large ($1000). But I honestly believe this is the best glass I've ever had in my hands. The quality of both the glass and the fasteners is definately top drawer, excelling even what I thought was the gold standard, sharkskinz.
If yer into lots of crypic japanese, here's ATech's site:

Street or Track? Forgive me for not keeping up on your plans swft, but is this for the street or track? I'm not going to race my 12 but I see definite advantages to starting with a "clean slate" so to speak.

This is for track. Pacific Northwest Endurance series. And maybe WMMRA Formula Ultra. But you gotta be brave for that. Hopefully, the bike will go to the painter's today and I can expect it back in a few weeks. Would like to have it ready for June 6-8, but odds are thin for that...
