Default RE: painting hurricane to match 600RR

i also have an advantage, i am getting the paint for free. my dad is a wholesale manager for napa so i get the hookup on auto parts as well as their full line of martin senour(sherwin williams) paint. i dont want to have to take my wheels off but i think i am going to have to. i am actally keeping it relatively simple in comparison. but they should all prove to be simple yet highly potential. i still have not completely made up my mind, but i will make sure it doesnt ruin the image of the bike. hopeing to get the paint soon, and when i do i will start the prep work on the plastics. and i am not trying to change the fact that i own a hurricane, i love the hurricane, just trying to bring it up to date.

The Hurricane is a special bike, it was one of the first to change the sport bike image. There is something to be said for keeping the stock colors and body work. I have a 87 hurricane 600 and I get many compliments on my bike. Last week I took it to the local dealer and I had multiple people come out and look at the bike. Most of the people were excited to see one clean and still stock. This is just something to think about before you paint your hurricane. Once a Hurricane always a hurricane. I will soon post some better photos, these are taken with my phone.
