Default hi all need your input and ideas on my bike please

im guna take all my fairings and wheels off my bike in the next couple of weeks and get them painted and the moment if you look below you will see ive had the wheels painted yellow and yellow graphics done but as he's doing it for nothing i can choose ANY CAR COLOURS to use so was thinks of doing something different, ive got to have some blue in it and my helmet and lethers are blue, i was thinking of getting the fairings painted ford st orange and the wheels painted blue with blue graphics or lime green with blue stickers and wheels.

Looks nice as it is mate. But ST orange sounds good, not sure if it would go with blue or green though. Id go for st orange with anthracite wheels.

And buy some neutral leathers that will go with anything if you must mate.

A bit more than you planned but :

white body with black or graphite, standard graphics
White wheels
powder coat frame, forks legs and bottoms, swing arm and brake calipers black.

Probably need a carbon can to finish it off.

this will give you an idea of what it looks like...

I had white wheels on my ZX7r track bike and I used to wipe them down with WD40 after each event and the layer of WD40 left behind stopped the next load of muck and chain lube sticking and so on....

probably no worse than the yellow wheels you have at the moment.
