to this.....

satin black, gloss but unlaqured red and using the existing silver, so will have shiny finish on that bit.
the heel plates and rear pilion hangers are going to be polished up. belly pan changed for a more pointier style. lights being changed to custom vertical pair with frame work in satin black, then the clock covers will be painted as they pretty messed up at the min.
eventually i'd like the seat cowl, rear twin light conversion and under tray. smaller plate and tail tidy.
all opinions welcome, good and bad. if you look at it, say what you think, lol
-
I say YES! :beers:
-
Rock on....are you going to pain it yourself?
-
as its going to be satin black yeah. if i ever go for anything else then i'll be getting my bro-in-law to do it :grin:

I've got to say I prefer the Black version to the Silver version.
-
Yea, the silver one definitely looks like a diet coke can.

Hate to be a downer... but to me the swooping stripe looks a little late dated... like late 70's - early 80's Honda-esque.

maybe so. but its a bit more different other than flames that everyone uses. its not a sports bike so i'm not doing "race" style graphics. i think its more custom and gives it a bit of personallity.
it'll no doubt look different when its done anyway. so we'll see then!
-
too late... :lol:
got to say though, i really like it. and it'll be 10 times better once the rim tape is on and i've got bits polished up and want to polish.
here it is so far...

Looks pretty good :bigok:

I see you toned done the colour of the stripes - looks good bloke.

I've seen a great looking variation on the 'flame' look by using more of a fire look - I saw it on Pimp my Ride or Ride with Funkmaster Flex or something similar. I haven't got a pics but if I find some I'll post 'em

Rock on....are you going to paint the Bandit logo on it, or are you going to get a decal?
