I cannot stand that schizophrenic yellow paint!
Geminis would like it. LOL..lol

Put some dignified paint on there.

That yellow is Awesome!  Keep it!!!  One thing a drag bike should NEVER be is Dignified!!!  Audacious, unapologetic, brazen, but NEVER dignified!!!


OK...ok... "Audacious, unapologetic, brazen, but NEVER yellow!!! Lol..lol

Would you consider red???

Lucky, Geminis just like to have fun. If you haven't tried this paint yet, you're missing out.

Well It looks like what I'm going to use is a cb750 cases, cb900f, crank and rods I have not made up my mind on the top end maybe some cb350 pistons or just a 836 kit.
