Re: One Step Closer


Shoot it off the bike. I know it's more work and time to do it that way though!

Maybe you would actually like the unique look of the tank, bodywork, clipons, grips, frame, rearsets and parts of the engine, swingarm and a bit of tire all the same color?! A graffiti motif would work if you wanted a two or more color combination...

I'm just trying to come up with ideas you can tell to folks who don't know you. We all here know the reason you can't spray between the lines is because you're testing your Grattan award.

Take it from one of the people that learned their lesson about making a trackbike look nice. Don't do it. Go with some rattle can paint, slap some stickers and duct tape on it and go ride.

I can see there is allot of truth in that, make it too nice and you will not want to crash it.

edit: Not that I want to crash it.

It's not whether you want to or not, it's when you will.

Let's take the afternoon off and go back to the garage. I think I might pull the airbox again and put some sealant on those PAIR plates.
