Hey Bust.

You da man, dude. Nice looking work. Where'd ja find that color? It's incredible. Gonna do any accents or stripes or anything? Not that it needs it, just curious. Looks like ya shot it right there in the garage. Did ya have any trouble with dust or overspray messin' up yer finish? Looks pretty slick in the pictures. It's been awhile, but I've shot a little paint over the years. Anyway, looking forward to seein' the finished product. Better hurry, it's getting near ridin' time. Mom who lives near Pontiac says it's gonna hit 80 in Michigan today. Good grief, it's just as warm as we are here in Florida right now. Imagine that.

Well, it should be ideal for riding on the left, against traffic.

Cuz it looks kinda like a big salmon! . :lol:

Thank Dog this fiasco is over.. Gonna pay somebody next time!

Tnx Gary.. :) It's 82 right now and too feking hot for March. I did in fact shoot it in the garage.. Brand new imported air hose ruptured as the last piece was being cleared. I hope to fek the wheel cleans up the resultant dust bunnys in the final clear shot. :glare:

So, what is that color called? Dark pink? :eek:

Just kidding. It looks very nice. Have you thought about some sort of custom decal on the sides where the stock decals used to be?

 
Dude...You're still dumb, but that looks pretty dammed cool.

Nice job!! :clapping:
Outstanding job Bust and you should be rightfully proud of your endeavors, it is just a damn crying shame that HotRodZilla is such a frigging whining childish Bullying Tool! jes' sayin' and nuff' said!

 
Really, you just ordered one of those Hong Kong fairing kits, didn't you? Really. :p

OK, seriously, the outside pics look better than the inside parts-on-the-table pics. The inside pics were a little pale, as in pink-ish, but I wasn't going to say anything until you posted more. (Please understand the restraint that took!)

Seeing it out in the sun gives me great relief. Good job!!!! Danged impressive.

Ya think that laser-etcher you use on wood would do a nice logo on the lowers???? :eek:

Doood... That looks VERY nice! VERY well done! :clapping:

As far as breaking things up... Hmmm... Maybe a silver stripe kit or something? Maybe just some subtle FJR logos here and there? Personally I don't think it needs that much. Just a little 'oomph' here and there. You know - you've got a good eye for that stuff. Really.

Dark Sider Crimson?

Sheeps 'R Us Red?

Bust A Red Nut?

Pistachios 'N ****?

 
Love the new paint Bust.

You still gonna sell me those blue levers? ;)

Ping me your address when ya get the chance

 
I looked at a DuPont paint sample board, that color is called Pukey Dukey Henna; just trying to help here, it looks good!

Beautiful Bike, Bust ! :)
Seeing the words 'Beautiful' and 'Bust' in the same sentence is disturbing to say the least, but we all know Maria Elena's heart is in the right place! However, I did FIX it! jes' sayin' and nuff' said!

She did insert the proper punctuation!

Barry, the bike looks great, except for that fugly back tire!

 
+100 to the other kudos.

You dun good, Barry. Only two colors I would consider on a repaint would be red (maybe even a brighter red than yours) or Bright Vandy Yellow. I guess I really want a Ducati, but can't contort my body like that anymore. ;)
