Here's another 2c worth, now given this machine is a stealth version of a 14, why advertise / brand it?  Would it not be more stealthy if it had no manufacturers id on it at all?  Peeps would say, geez that looks good, but what is it?  Yeah, Yeah!  Curiosity & intrigue ya see.

Whaddya reckon Red?   Sound like a plan?   

@Red Biker

Hey Col
It's something I have thought about,
I'm having the tank sprayed over winter so I'll review it then.
Kinda knight rider stylie 😎
In my mind I've also pictured a 'question mark' similar to the Riddler of Batman fame 😀

Nothing. Less is more. Look fantastic with no branding - keeps (people not in the know) guessing.

if you get either the s or suzuki one I'd get it refinished to a darker chrome finish
not black on black but maybe dark tungsten/gun metal(still a polished finish but darker) on black
:onya:
only a slightly modified gsx1400
oh and a standard one too

One of my bikes has no manufactures name, model or size on it.
Cleaner looks and interesting who does / doesn't know what it is.

I like the full Suzuki. But maybe get rid of any other identifying features. Did this to a GSXR I had, should've been easily identifiable by the shape but it had custom paint. People were always pulling up and asking what sort of Suzuki it was. Good conversation starter whilst waiting for the green light!

Or "Yuki" sign would be great too  :rofl2:

Hi Seth,
I didnt have you down as the subtle type Seth!
The S I had on was carbon fibre effect which did look nice with a slight contrast, I could use the
Anthracite I've used on the swing arm and forks thinking about it  :onya:
