Thanks guys really appreciate it! I wrestled with doing the frame in silver or the typical black as I really like the black frame, but decided to roll the dice and do something different and happy I did.

The primary color of the bike is the same silver with some other accents.. :evil: Ram, I may need to pick your brain on some transitions if I have trouble. :)

The wheels will be black with polished lip, and I have not decided on the color of the swing arm yet (black or silver). The engine will be mostly black, so we will see how it all flows..

Thanks again....

Silver frame looks badass!

Is that single stage or basecoat/clearcoat?

Test... Damnit man... How is it that I have not seen your paint scheme til now? I just say it in this thread... kzrider.com/forum/5-chassis/495794-swing...qs-function-or-looks

Had no idea you have a white strip down the center.. I just bought the paint for the 900 last week, blue and white, can you imagine what I was going to do? LOL

now what... hmmmm

Yeah, I guess if you hadn't seen the pictures of my body parts in the build thread, then all of those side shots would make it hard to tell that she's got a racing stripe. I had intended on getting some different angle shots this summer but the drought was so bad around here that I didn't want anyone to see all of the brown death around my bike.

Anyway, don't let my paint job scare you away from painting yours. Heck, I found out that another member had a similar job to mine after I had planned it. You just don't see him around much these days. Check out this page in my build thread: kzrider.com/forum/11-projects/340793-tes...d?limit=20&start=580

Third time's the charm.
