You should be a politician...
no make the beast with two backsing
way that happened in 2 hours. ;)
replaced the tank? or was it just the vinyl that was orange???
looks sweet either way!
Is that a chopped front fender??
You carefully applied decals over the tang parts? By the way gray on black does look rather refreshing. There's no way you painted it though, not in 2 hours.
Quickest, easiest mod i did on my bike! I ordered vinyl decals from cutgrafix.com. You can find him on ebay. His name is Rod and he lives in Australia. Really nice guy to work with. If you do it ask for the "oversized decal set". Tell him exactly what you are doing and he will send you the right pieces.
The center stripe was a bit of a bear to work with but a little patience and my wife's hair dryer and i go it to match up. Also the tank pad fits perfectly over the "ugly part". No one will be the wiser.
And yes that is a chopped front fender. Stock and just had it painted.

Thanks for your kind words everyone!
Nice job, very classy.
What exhausts do you have on your bike?
The exhaust is the Marving exhaust. Monsterparts.com has a connection in Italy with the manufacturer. I love the sound grumbly and loud! Had the Zards before they had a nice deep tone but this new set up is just as nice, just not as deep.
Looks great [thumbsup] [drink]
nice job. I bought that set from cutgraphics a while ago but suck at applying it [bang]
boo, Tangerine is the fastest.
and most unique!
Too each is own. I am a pretty monochromatic kind of person. I am happy with it!

Wow, I never expected it to come to this and not wanting to get into this discussion. I would like to point out the highlited section from the definition above. The grey color is a tone of the black color. So, still being of one color just a different tone there of.
Thank you for the art class lesson. Now go ride your bike! ;D
