A number of folks have talked about going Red on a KTM. I just finished putting my design from Liquid Skinz Graphics on my bike and wanted to share. It's actually a brighter red than the pictures depict. I went with white plastic and a GasGAS front fender just for a different look over the bars while riding. I also was able to find red Acerbis frame guards. I really like the way it came out. Comments are welcomed and I have thick skin...

Looks great. I'm sure it pops in person. I've been thinking of going Red on my 21 Rockstar 450.
GasGas red front fender, fork lower guards, and number plate, and either white or gray shrouds and rear fender..
Graphics adding the rest of the red.

Always wondered how well you could get away with 'colouring in' white plastics, that looks more convincing than I'd have expected.

Not quite my taste but it's not my bike so it shouldn't be, looks like a good quality job and glad you're happy with it man.

Yeah, I was going to go with the red plastic kit available from Race Tech as they're the only ones offering one as far as I could find. I didn't want to pay nearly twice as much for the Race Tech kit than I could buy Acerbis or Polisport. The more I looked at the graphics the more I realized most of the white plastic would be covered by the red of the graphics. As such, I went with the white plastic as it gave me a mostly red bike.

Looks great! A bit too busy, but 'taste' is subjective.
