My my initial reaction is not good, but I'll withhold judgment until I get to see it put back together.

Different strokes for different folks. :)

Edit: I do suppose with the right amount of Chrome to go with that, it might be purty.

So, have you renamed your bike the "Concours Grape"? (or simply "Welches" for short...) ;) No, seriously, it's very, uh, purple. A few rainbows on the bags might be nice... (BTW, I hear San Francisco is looking for a new Grand Marshall for their annual Gay Pride parade...) :p

 
My most recent Connie was purple(1999), but not THAT purple. I called mine 'Deep Purple' and hummed "Highway Star" when I rode it. My kids called it 'eggplant' and Barney and probably other derogatory terms.

Post up when finished, please

 
Also ,,,had a Purple '99' Concours ,,, never really cared for the color ,, but it was a Darn Good bike..

Thought it was the best bike I ever had ,,, until the 08 FJR ......

7.5 gal. gas tank ,,, run it hard all day long ,, never let me down,,,,

So, I learned to live with the dark purple ,,,,

Thanks goodness it wasn't Smurf Blue,,,,,,, or Barney Purple...

Just Kidding ,,,, Didn't strokes ,,, etc...

I did think the SF parade idea was funny.....

Be interesting to see finished ,,,,

 
Back in the 70's , Mopar had some Wild & Crazy colors......

I surely didn't think much of them , then...

But, now those cars and colors are popular and worth big bucks...

 
Makes me want to sing "1999" and "Little Red Corvette" for some reason!

It'll be interesting to see when it's all bolted back on though.

 
Wasn't Prince riding a purple Kawi in "Purple Rain?" He's gonna be hella jealous of your bike, man!
It should be referred to as "the bike formerly known as C-14", and give it a symbol. Then a few years from now you can change it back to C-14.

COOL!! Thats LOUD they will hear you comming, you'll never have to dodge another cage ridding that C14. :)

 
My Bro in law went for a slightly darker shade of purple for his GT-HO Ford Falcon Phase III. Looked awesome. As such, I can't wait to see the final product - which will definitely make me look twice.

The color itself... I have always wanted a bike in this color - which is pretty damn close to the 2006 FJR color scheme. Coincidence? I think not... if only I had more $$$...
