Default rebuilding

i wrecked my bike lastseptember and pretty much just broke everything there is to break...my swingarm broke in half...kinda crazy...so since then ive been buying piece by piece to fix it...ive had this idea of powdercoating my frame midnight blue and doing all my plastics in a pearl white with a blue flake in them....i know i wouild like it but alot of guys think that it will look to much like a honda...what do you guys think?

personally i wouldnt do a blue frame but if you like the color scheme then do it. reason i wouldnt do a blue frame is its not really a neutral color. i.m.o. tho, the combo would kick ***

blue and white can look pretty intense together... if done right it be a really impressive paintjob

thanks for all of your input...the reason i asked is becuase ive been powdercoating for about 10 years now and i just put my hobby and my love of motorcycles together and i wanted to make a one of a kinda 636...there are just so many color combos that are possible but that one seemed to really stick out to me...ill have pics of the parts in about a week and ill post them...the bike will be done in about 2 weeks...thanks

Depends on the kind of blue, basic color wheel blue is a very nuetral color as opposed to yellow or red (primaries).

With all that damage, is your frame straight. Take it to a GDM Computrack and get it checke out. It'd be a shame to put in all that work just to find out the frame is bent.
