It wasnt easy...it was a loooooooong weekend.
Rick introduced me to his buddy, they rented a booth and put in crazy hours.

If it is that orange, should of painted the mirrors(not the bases or the post that adds to the mirrors being orange). So east coast busa. ;D
Congrats on a weekend, Allen has been waiting 2 and a half months to get his bike back,I was out of town in feb 2 march 18. It has been too cold to paint anything(today is nice and I got some stuff done). Renting a Booth? PM me and tell me the cost please and where.

LOLLOL that was good
Very sorry about your crash
And I am trying to learn from it by calling the air lift people that n10sive spoke of and they are mailing me the forms. My printer is messed up right now.
thanks josh! :)
Anyone notice that Gang sleeps with his body work?
(upper fairing gettin cozy in your bed)

Mase, How much do you like it?

wow, it's a bold move to customize/paint the bike like that then try to sell it.
if I was considering another street bike I would try and talk the boss into it.
I like how it is clean not bling but still unique.
The windscreen is bling
hehe it's streetable.

WHAT THE F**K. he didnt even tell me it was on craigslist.
Dont worry, he is over priced by a 1000 bucks or so. That is even if you love the BOLD color.
The bike looks good. I meant that is is not priced to sell. The market in my opinion is comming around a little, but you can get a honda 07 for $5000, which is a way better bike(-25 lb. and + 12hp.) I was just looking for bikes here and all over Ca. to purchase and saw them for 3500 a dime a dozen. Thats all. I was being honest.
For the same money which would rather have, his or mine.
Didnt mean to plug my self-oh well.

Here is one for 3200

what i dont get is if he was planning on painting it the whole time he should have said something and i would have advised against the squid-screen

and saved yourself 30 minutes.
That screen is woefully unattractive (I know that wasn't your idea) He should by a $50 clear one and mount it on.

well, i guess we'll see what happens. i havent talked to him in a while since i havent been to work since my accident.
I saw that orange bike being ridden up Sparks Blvd. two-up this weekend.
Nice work! I love to paint it makes me happy well you know that and the track
I had no idea this thread was here. I'll post up pics of Rick's 3rd and final bike he painted that weekend. mine.
Rick those bikes look great. I don't know what your charge is. I think your worth it.
I like how Myron did Justin's bike too.
i'd buy that orange bike it is sick!!!
how much would you charge to paint brand new fairings that are off the bike?
