From looking at the pics I agree it's a little bland looking. Once I get the rest of the powder coating done, especially the front end and couple pieces in the engine, it'll provide more contrast. Also the camera phone pics don't do the paint justice. It's the synergy green off of the newer camaro with a couple coats of green pearl over it. A lot of color and metallic variance depending on the light.

Nope, not a fan.


Doesn't matter though, if you dig it, that's all that matters.

........ strictly scientifically speaking ..... since black is generally understood to be a faster color, did yer bike slow down any when you went green?

I was worried it might so that's why I pulled the extra pieces off for weight savings to offset the slower color.

Thinking about getting it pin striped or some design cut for it out of vinyl.
We offer a bunch of different outer covers for our air cleaners,if you want to vary the look according to the mood.

I probably will order one of the transparent covers before long clint, thanks for the reminder. I've run a dk air cleaner on the last few bikes I've built. Can't be beat for the price.
