i was planning to change it completly but to be quite honest, the kawasaki green theme has grown on me. Being that i'm the type of person that likes to have something a little more on the custom side that stands out a little bit, i'm going to go with green, but it's gonna be altered a little bit. Then i'll be adding a bit of a jason britton theme. I'm hoping to have the paintwork all done and re-assembled by the end of this comming weekend.

I'll continue to post photo's if you guys want.

*the belly plate was a bitch.. so much crap was stuck to it and it was all scratched up from the bike bein lowerd & what not.

jason britton is a well known stunt rider and former racer who has been on a bike since he was 2 years old. He's got quite a history, but i'm unaware of a show on speed as i don't know have cable tv. Just a big plasma to watch my netflix movies.

I was having some difficulty with the rings for the graphics.. normally i can freehand them pretty good but with the curvature of the bike and the amount of vents & things in the way.. i've decided that i'll probably just have dave make them out of vynil. So i continued on and finished the paint work

You can't really see the gold flake in the paint all that well but i tried to capture it in the photos. Guess u'll just have to see it in person one of these days.

Lots of Green!

UpClose And Personal.. trying to show you guys the flake.

thanks man.. i started to put it back together.. i've got the top half of the bike re-assembled. I'm probably gonna wait till tomarrow to mess with the rest, gonna try & pickup some oil and a filter from andrews tomarrow and change it so that i don't have to thake the plastics off again.

chrome wheels would look sick but i also think like a brighter gold like the color of the forks would look good too.

Brighter gold on the wheels, or chrome would look amazing! Bike looks sick as is, but could always be better. Very nice work Tony! :thumbsup:

+1 to chrome

Fuck gold with that color combo. I'd do black before gold. Chrome will make that paint 'pop' even harder. Do that! :D
