It very well may be... my blue is a bit lighter for sure, but I was thinking on doing a single offset strip on the right side, kinda like a euro strip. We shall see..

Sounds like a threat to me, run Boostable! :ohmy: :unsure: :woohoo: :laugh:

That's hilarious. I didn't even think how that sounded when I wrote it.

I like the idea of an offset stripe. I had considered that option as well.

UF, bike looks good. Do you have a build thread going that I missed? I didn't do any reliefs on the tank, I just moved my stops in slightly. I dont think its enough to hurt the turn radius at all. (at least I hope not) lol..

Thanks,

Jack

No the turn radius is not a problem while riding. the only time its noticed is while turning around in tight areas , like the garage and what not.
The bike is looking good. B)

And here I have been envious of the nice, rounded tank on the 1000J as well as the early Z750 fours that you 'mercuns got :lol:
