Current

gonna put a "monster energy drink" graphic set on it to add some contrast. Overall, colors are gonna be silver, green and black.

QUESTION.........

BLACK OR POLISHED RIMS????????

 

[SublimeRT]

Looks good so far. I'd say take that pipe off and clean the whole thing. Last time I checked though, motorcycles had 2 wheels.....


Just givin you shit. Oh, and I'd say polished rims.

 

[AintShePurty]

I've an 89 kawasaki mojave 250 that was my first venture into the world of quads/motorcycles. I still have it & it's not in bad shape but needs a lot of maintenance. New chain/sprockets/tires, oil change, carb clean/rebuild, suspension probably needs updated, etc. It's just sitting right now & I'll put it all back together one of these days.

Looks like you're doing a good job:beer:

[Stephen93Cobra]

thats looks sweet! i say polished rims!!

 

[AintShePurty]

everybody i've talked to has said black rims so far. anymore for polished here???

 

[TERMIN8TR]

you painted the plastic? won't that come off?

+1, where and what brand did you get, i know of someone with a KFX that could use some cleaning up

 

[AintShePurty]

as long as the plastics prep'd right, it should hold. Hell, i figured id do this instead of buyin 500 dollar plastics. already had the paint. just had to get some primer. seein as im not workin right now, its the perfect time to get things like this done. we'll see how good the paint holds up though...

VERY HARD WORK. haha. just got finished puttin about 14 hours in today. maybe 1 1/2 hours of break to eat 2 times but thats about it. anyhow, i really appreciate all the positive feed back. i finished painting the frame today, now all i've got left is the swing-arm and rear hubs. the front hubs were painted green to match the fenders. i cant wait to get this thing done. Leavin to the sand dunes this friday w/a bunch of friends n family.

PICS TO COME VERY SOOOOOOON!!!!!!
