Looks even worse than black frames.

forks,shock and swinger would work imo,with a few subtle accent's like shift/brake tips,bolts, graphic accent,etc.i don't think the graphics and wheel's on that bike promote that frame colour at all.i have a sunline shifter with the tip anodized in a very similar bronze/kyb brown colour so it's doable going the ano route,without spending a fortune.
Hmm.

I feel like it'd look good on a Yamaha.

It looks better "in the flesh" but is a bit over the top. They did it because they could.

The color it self sure is cool, but it doesn't match the bike. Throw on black plastics with black graphics with accents in that bronze color.

I think it would look great with a few changes. Make the cylinder head cap the same color as the crankcase cover, no coating on the radiators and black instead of blue wheels. Also, replace some of the white in the graphics with a color match to the frame.

That frame color is badass. It just looks like shit on that bike because of the horrible graphics. If the bike was put together well with the correct color combo/graphics that would be a really nice looking bike.

Reckon if it did not match the Showa Forks then it would look yet worse, or have the forks also been coated with it?

Not that I really think it looks bad, just sort of is abit 'unmatched' in someway.

I wouldn't do an entire frame, id do some small parts though.

Coat the rider in it! Then it will all match better and he will crash with less friction! Woohoo
