My 550 Build New Pics
« on: March 03, 2008, 09:00:17 PM »
Here are some pictures of the bike before paint.  At this point I had stripped the emblems and filled the holes they left.

Here are the pictures after I painted.  This was my first attempt at a "custom" paint job.  I first painted the tank black, they laid out the stripes with about 1/8 inch tape.  Then I painted the tank white.  After this I masked off the white flames and painted the rest of the tank burt orange.  So it has white flames outlined by black, on burnt orange. 

Since I am up at college away from my bike I really can't do anything to it.  However plans for it this summer are new bars, remove the windshield and mirrors, (most likely one bar end mirror).  And also a different type of seat.  Debating a cafe style seat, or maybe a solo seat with hard struts.
