A distinctive and genuinely tasteful paint job, Crash. :thumb: :thumb:
It'll be easy to pick your bike out of a crowd on the track. Excellent work,
and congratulations on finally getting the task completed. :clap:

Thanks a lot guys, it's been a labor of lov..... nah it's been a pain in the ass :D I really am looking forward to getting back on the track and seeing some of you out there!

RRWANTR - I'll be out there soon enough :thumb:

Tavish - it took very little effort to do the actual conversion, the paint is what took me forever. In my last house I had a decent set up, but in the new one the wife wouldn't settle for anything less than outside. I built a make shift booth, but I had very little time to work on the paint and in less than perfect conditions. The suspension was all done by Dan Kyle several months ago, and I had the Hindle from the last group buy almost a year ago.

My problem has always been time, I need more of it. Between family, work and school I'm lucky to get a few hours a week to do anything.

Ratter - :huh: it's a public gallery on the site :huh:

Thanks again everyone, I'm off to sleep now in the garage with it! It's like having a new bike again, I'm all gitty :hyper:

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! Are you referring to the one below? It orginally started out as the beginings of a tat I wanted that represented my company in school. I wanted a different way to represent Delta. JOCORE is a combination of my son's name and mine. He calls it his bike, so I figured why not put his name on it :D Thanks again

Beautiful!

I'm about to go red and white on my 954.. Your example is so restrained. It's sweet.

Can't see well enough in the pics - is it a pearl white? metallic red? Base / clear?

I was wanting to go with House of Kolor pearlesence colors, but I decided since it was going to be a dedicated track bike, why spend the cash only to potentially wad the thing up :idunno:

I used PPG base coat white, 1999 BMW Red its actually called Hellruit (sp), and a basic clear, none of it is metallic or pearl. If I was repainting for street, I wouldv'e used the House of Kolor stuff without a doubt.
