While I was riding my 2004 Black/Purple Busa I was stopped at a light and looked down on my tank. The sun was out...I noticed that my tank was not just black, but to my surprise it had blue metal flakes. Anyone out there noticed this on their 2004 Busa?

Heh, Imagine my shock when I looked down at my SE's paint in the sun and noticed an absolute lack of any sort of flake... I mean I wanted black, but I was thinking Black like your describing... I had what is probably a similar Black way back on my Katana 750. Looked black but it had a bunch of Blue and Purple flake in it...

I had seen the 2002 black & blue busa for the longest when I saw it up close a couple of months ago I saw blue metal flakes on the black parts looked awesome!
I imagine 2004 should look as nice.

I have an 02 and before I painted it, it was blue/black and it had the blue metal flake in it. I think that it looks real good.

I have an 04 black/purple. I too have noticed the flake. Sometimes it really shines, and others you can't see it at all.
