most custom paint jobs are for a reason.

Yeah, like - I don't like the original colour. Or - I like this colour, so I'm putting it on my bike.

Or, It has been crashed and a quick fix was applied

well then go for it do it green, its what u do for a living why not,

if the paint job is good and biek is mechanically a1 i cant see it dropping the resale value by that much.

And people jump to that conclusion, rather quickly in most cases.

it will be worth less with a custom paint job. If you're going to repaint it, do it in original colours - otherwise buyers will assume it has been dropped and repaired

custom colours ALWAYS make someone stand back and think "ok, what happened to it"



Apparently I am not the only one, as Chuck states "it is mechanically perfect"
It would be a shame to ruin it, maybe I have a bias as I owned two of them

True, I was just being lazy painting it one colour I know I'll appreciate it more if I repaint it back to original specs and it'll get more attention .

try braking the colour up a bit , with blue & white stripes maybe

Leave it standard and it will be worth more money some day.
