Bike looks HOT! I'm in VA, too.

LOL naw, I sill have the kawi, but on the CF forum I go by blkwidow. I will post the pics of the new paint job once we get some sunshine. Are you going to the next track day at VIR? I am looking at the schedule and it looks like I will not be able to make one until the end of june. It is interesting that they have track days on mondays, do alot of people show up?

Ok I am done, no more painting. I found that the brake lights and turn signals were just not visible enough, and that cars were getting a little too close as I was slowing down or making a turn. I had my b/f ride her and I followed.....yikes I could barely see the brake lights or turn signals, the turn signals in the front were worse. So I went and bought front and rear turn signals for a Buell, and rear brake light off a V-Rod, both are very very bright. I know we all want out bikes to look very cool and all but for me it about visibility, I am not concerned on how they look, just want to make sure cars can see em.

I am still thinking though, it will be a while before I decide on a definite scheme.

I like it, but i think you should go with thinner webbing. I'm not really a fan of the thick lines, something a little less noticeable would be a nice change of pace. Kind of like you notice something, but can't tell till you're close.

Edit: nvm, just saw the post with the pics of the end result. Looks nice, I like the darker web.

I haven't put any pics up there in a while. This is pretty much how she looks right now. It's been a work in progress for quite some time now. I have a set of shark-skinz that i need to get in order, just haven't had the time.

bike looks good, did you paint the frame yourself? That clear clutch cover is nice! I keep meaning to order one....
