McB, did you see the GPz 750 Practical Sportsbike magazine did a few months back? White (not a standard colour) but with standard decals. I reckon that's an effective way to have the colour you want without making the bike look obviously custom/repainted. How about your R11S in white with Randy BCR style chequered/blocked stickers but in black (like my yellow bike)? Would break up the vast expanse of single colour. Gloss black wheels and black engine would look great too. Just a thought.

Hi Mike. I didn't see this (not a magazine I ever buy TBH), but have done a quick search on the interweb and found the cover picture. Looks nice.
I did have the same thought on the BCR style stickers to break up the ocean of white. There is a Dutch company selling them on ebay in many different colours - http://www.motorsticker.eu - anyone on here used them?

I was going to do a black and white randy job, but being the utterly cackhanded angry little man I am, I lost my temper with them after making a pigs ear of it, and chucked them away.

LOL - I feel your pain! Perhaps a non permanent black marker is the answer? Think of the fairing as a white board - you could keep changing the design until you get it right. And also write your shopping list on there....
