One got by you by the way a few posts back.
Granted it was sort of hidden.


Oh I saw that one MP, was it supposed to be a slide at me because I'm not a wrencher? If so, I already knew that I'm not, no worries, trust me I know what things I'm good at and enjoy, and wrenchen ain't one of em, I'll gladly leave that to the pro's!  :) :chugbeer:

Awesome Jay!  You are doing what many of us only dream of doing.

That sure is a lot of awful purty blooo ya got there!   :thumbs: 8) 

Probably missed the posts that answer these two questions, but it's easier to ask than research...what was that loud noise just now... did I hear max' cringe? OK, that wasn't one of the questions.

Jay,

1. I notice that your garage does not seem to have a GixR in it anymore, is it gone or just buried under all those boxes?
2. In all these color combos over the years, are you buying new TechSpecs each time..or do they really transfer that easily from tank to tank?

Looking forward to the all blue version, but don't hurry on my account, enjoy whatcha got now for a while.

Hi FM, thanks brutha!  :) :chugbeer: 

I sold the Gixxer last year, just wasn't riding it as much with having the ZG...


Yes I buy new TechSpecs each time and leave them on each set, they're too cheap to mess with trying to pull em off and re-apply them.  :-\

Being a married man myself, I'm curious whether Mrs. ZG is an enthusiastic accomplice in this colorful caper or does she just roll her eyes whenever you trot out a new color scheme. (Insert smiley face)

Lol... She rolls her eyes Sanmo, but she's cool with it and does like the colors I've been choosing so far!  :)

Picked up another set of wheels that I had from the powder coater today, did them in green to match up with the Golden Blaze Green color of the lowers/tails/cases...
Man o man is there a ton of gold flake in these!!  :o 8) :chugbeer:

I also picked up another front fender that I had my paint shop do in matching white...  :chugbeer:


Check out this first pic, they had these posted on the wall up there, musta been having some fun during down time, I love it!!  :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:









I'm kinda undecided on the white fender though, not sure which one I like better... Any thoughts or opinions?  :-\

I like the white, it flows well with the white mid-fairing and when you drop on the green wheels, I think it'll all tie together very well.

Can't say I'm real giggly about that color combination.  White and blue..yes.   All green....yes.   Mixture of both, not so much.
I would have to agree.  This guy has done some of the coolest things Ive seen done.....this one I am not not feeling.  Too busy for this old mans taste I guess.

I like the blue fender with the blue upper and rim.

Would have to see the white fender with the green rim if that's what you were planning.

The green wheels and another fresh set of PR4GT's installed today!  :chugbeer:


I burned through the last set of PR4GT's just since June (approx 8k), which is pretty good for me, nice summer of riding, good times!  :)

The sun really makes the gold flake in the green wheels pop, even more so than these pics show.  8)

I'd have been happy with just the blue and white colors. Perhaps a darker shade of the same blue where you now have the green paint.
