I think it would look nice. I have a flat black stripe runing down the center of my bike, which is also black. So... polar bear in a snowstorm I guess, but the stripe is flat black and the main black is gloss.

well i think im gonna end up doing a color change on the bike altogether looks like im getting a tail swap so itll need to be repainted and for a few bucks more i can get the whole bike done. so the question is what color to go with. thinking something in a one off dark blue

I believe that "burnt orange" was a factory color outside the U.S. It does look pretty cool I know the picture he's referring to. Two blues I've seen lately that I thought were really neat were both on kawasaki's-the electric blue they've been using for awhile-always loved that. And saw a zx6 the other day at the gym in what they call flat matte blue. Sorta like the flat denim blue you can get on a Harley-also very cool. And the stock blue the superhawk came in looks great too.

something kind of like this?
ive seen the first blue youre talking about its nice and i do like the stock blue color but im just trying to make it a little bit better. and the helmet feels like it almost has a rubberized finish to it its really neat. not sure if it can be replicated easily on the bike.
and ive got a pic on my phone of the burnt orange hawk, i thought it was an aftermarket color, its actually really nice, but i think i saw that color first being used in the car show world over 10 years ago and since then car makers have started to use it aswell.

And check out Shayne's beautiful bike for some inspiration. Lots of great details (notice the filled third eye and turn signals and integrated signal mirrors you've mentioned) and super clean the way I think a bike (at least one you don't ride everyday or leave parked out of sight) should be. Wheels are not my personal taste (nor the big foam grips) but then again he didn't build it for me
