Love that color! Wish I had done away with the front emblem like yours. Looks good and to be honest, I didn't paint mine, just like it came out of the box. I'm now thinking I should have bought another one and sent it with Aaron.

Thanks Les, hated to copy that fender but it really looks better than a gsxr fender.As far as the emblem I really didnt like it so I had started to make a new one with something cool in it and Paul told me just fill the fu$king thing so fill it is.I like the gold base it should really make the candy coat pop in the sun light.

I know the "hate to copy" thing but I'm not bashful when something works, it just works. ;) I continue to look for better things all the time and sometimes they just get it right out of the box.
That color is nails! Can't wait to see the accent colors.

wow! Makes me think I should be reading the paint threads more often. I'm determined to do everything myself, although my paint will definitely not be that complex. Lookin good!
