I think someone has seen ZG's posts on here and is looking to capitalize on his condition....

Very chinglish, although based in California.  It appears by the description that they cloned the OEM parts.

Ok, here we go again, Back in Blacker'er...  ??? :-\


I had some extra black panels in the garage so I ordered up some more Kawi and Connie badges and had them painted in a matte black, I think I'll throw these panels on along with my black wheels and run a completely murdered out setup for a bit...  8)


The matte black badges came out to an exact match of the ceramic coating on the Muzzys system I just did last month, tough to tell from these phone pics in the garage but the matte black badges are a very nice contrast to the gloss black bodywork... Very subtle but I kinda like it for this bodywork, the contrast should show nicely within say 20' but further away than that they should just blend right in...

Build bridges, not walls.

Education is important. Riding my bike is importanter.

Now wait just a darn second. "Once you go black, you never go back" ... so how can you go "Back in Black" ... when you never left ??? :-\

I dunno, that's all I have in response to this black color scheme. Black on bikes and cars is just too subtle for me. And making it matte black is even more subtle. My 2 pennies of course; don't spend 'em all at the same paint shop  ;D

No worries CSK, all good bro, I just like change and trying new color schemes, I already have all the bodywork so the cost to try new color schemes is relatively low for me now...

I remember seeing a bike that looked just like this on this forum a couple of years ago. ;) I have enjoyed seeing all the permutations.  8)

Thanks RN.  :) :chugbeer:


Some subtle differences this time around though, black ceramic coated exhaust, black badges, black Copperdawg sportscreen, black painted lowers, black EBC rotors, and carbon fiber front fender...  ;) 8) ;D
