Re: New Tank :)

Yeah! I ******* love it, past few months of my life have just flown by working on these bikes. I'm doing a pretty custom job, already did all the fairings/headlight.
Its the Duplicolor Flat Black..... with a mirage of the Duplicolor metallic red. Looking at them straight on they look black, but if the sun hits it or you see it at an angle it pops red. Its pretty cool looking

Re: New Tank :)

Not sure if that made any sense, but yeah. Black, with red if viewed at an angle/sun reflection

Re: New Tank :)

That's a good look. I wanna powdercoat my 636 similar to that. Red rims, gloss black fairings.

thode pads alreay have lip on the back of them so thats not necesary.... you could just get bondo glass and make a big lip and put a little grip tape.. as long as you dont slide around grip tape wontn ear up as bad
or go OG stlye and have nothing on it like me
