3 hours was plenty of time!

Im thinking of painting mine black too, which means the tank as well. Do you think you could do it in an evening? hehe...

Looking good mark, just keep it rough, i know it hurts to ride a 'shabby' bike, but if ridden properly will soon shut everyone up..

whoa, that one looks pretty tidy...

[skidMark]

ive been throwing round some ideas graphics wise

what do you all think of this?

wheels would most likely be white, with either a silver, or polished frame.

and yes there is an "A" by the front wheel, i cbf editing it out, i used ms paint to draw it (damn new pc has no photoshop grrr)

will also have an exhaust with the muffler on an angle to follow the tail section (to parrallel to ground now) different muffler though. ;)

[Chisanga]

Add some yellow and it'll look very... German :) That aside not too bad..

[iwilde]

Looks like it comes pre-crashed for ya! Watch out for oil on corners, cold tryes first thing in the morning, lane splitting......etc.....

[EZAS]

[iwilde]

Whats the colour of gravel rash? Saves repainting it over and over!

[iwilde]

i will be " toning it down "

it's a shame i had to break my ankle in two places before i listened though

[xwhatsit]

Woot! Black and white one looks mint! Actually, if you made the white a grey instead. Or even made it almost black as well -- so you can only just pick out the logo.

[Kittyhawk]

Black and white...its simple, goes with any other colour and so it will match most coloured riding gear.

Easier to patch up the paint work too from stone chips etc.

Nah the pink version is too girly.

[FA50]

do it black with grey mark

your one _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ kid

[Maha]

my poor brains overloading,

here ya go black/white

Thats the better of all so far..try Dark Blue with Yellow graphics.....:yes:

[avgas]

the aim is to make it look something like this...
What episode of power rangers is that from?

[skidMark]

grey/ black and grey/black with stripe

[skidMark]

dark blue/ yellow.

[Chrislost]

stop fucking with paint and get it painted gloss black, see how you like it...
go to the shop and buy some of that colourful crap kids put on their books, make some decals in all diferent colours and see which u like best...
go to somwhere like reflections and get them done in that colour

[ZeroIndex]

[skidMark]

white and black...with the wheels and frame done. but aww this is fun though

[Smorg]

double gloss gay that'd suit..........

[Swoop]

i will fix it up all pretty i promise

If you get her looking like that, your nomination for "Restorer of the year" will be forwarded to the awards committee.
