Doddy Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 I started out with this a week ago And then cut the fenders and painted the plastics Added some accents to the grill and got the pipes powder coated I'm not sure what to do about the A-arms though...The blue has got to go though Quote
sToCk7miLL Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 put some crome a-arms on it.... that would clean that baby up good... looks fuckin sickk though... awesome grill... like the black any yellow,,, if you want to get creative with the color id get extended a-arms and powdercoat them yellow that would be a real eye catcher:whoa: Quote
donkeypuncher Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 nice bike man. diggin the duck colors! im thinkin you need a set of aftermarket black a-arms. it would fit the black theme you got goin. Quote
ClimbAnyHill Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 I really like it! Cool yellow detail. Where's the guy worried bout rocks on your grill? Ha haa! Quote
coronakidd Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 +2 a-arms black lower arms chrome the top or paint them yellow but leave bottom black looks good Quote
alf44 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 Looks sweet dude. That looks like sandlake in the first pic. Hit me up if you need any modquad billet or anything from rocky mt. Im a dealer for both and Im just up in longview. I can get a badass complete chrome swingarm setup for a smokin deal. comes with billet carrier, brake line, billet brake line holders and the front pivot bearing. Anything you need I can usually get.

vulvafan537240 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 i really like the yellow too. imo aftermarket headlights and shockwears would be the cheapest/easiest things to further improve the theme. Quote
TwistedSheeRida Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 looks good but would look better with either chrome/black a arms, chrome pipe (personally dont like black pipes) and some polished aluminum accents grab bar exc Quote
Doddy Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Posted October 18, 2009 Thanks for all the comments. Alf44 - the first pic is at Sand Lake or the Cat Box which ever one you like to call it. I'll def hit you up if I need any parts. You say your in Longview right? Have you ever been to that MX track out there? I've been meaning to go out there and check it out. yeah I'm not sure what rout I'm going to go w/ the A-arms. I think I'll end up getting black ones, and getting some of the stock Yellow springs. I like the Pipes black, I not a huge fan of chrome and everyone has polished pipes. Plus the powder coating will help protect against rust which was a huge problem before I sand blasted and painted the pipes. Quote
ELKARACING_SHEE Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 damn from the first glance of the first pic i though you got new black plastics not painted them, until i read, came out nice man Quote
Doddy Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Posted October 27, 2009 So I took her out to Florence over the weekend and all the paint actually held up pretty well. I had a few scratch on the rear fenders where I must have hit some branches and shit, but no stress cracks or huge flaking of any sort. I was pleasantly surprised. It was pretty wet so I had quite a bit of wet sand stuck to the bike, but when I got home I just washed it with some soap and water and everything came off with no problems. I did have some issues with the powder coating on the pipes. They told me at the shop that they used high temp powder coating, but it still began to flake where the pipe meets up with the head. I'm going to take them back in and have them try it again. Overall I am very happy with how it turned out, I would say that the Krylon Fusion paint is actually rather durable for what it is. Quote
BSHEE400 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Posted January 25, 2010 what u paint plastic with i'm guessing krylon fusion seeing as it says it in the post above you lol Quote
banshee mx 19 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 chrome a arms would look nice instead of the blue Quote
