Talking Pictures from todays ride :D

Don't mind my naked bike. Everything is in primer waiting for paint right now and it was sort of a last minute idea to put the tank on and go for a spin.

I might be losing my mind, but your bike looks cool like that.. very "street triple". Whats the paint scheme going to be?

I don't think it looks terrible but then again I like the way the engine and pipes look on f4i's anyway.

It's going to be white with grey accent's and a few splashed of blue. Like this sketch I did here...

Curious... How'd you attach your headlight? I'm planning on painting my bike sometime soon, but don't want to be without a bike while it's getting done; even if it's just a few days, LOL

Zip ties. Lol. Around the upper fairing stay. You won't be able to ride at night like that though. The ties flex and the headlights point too far down at speed.

Yeah last summer i rode a few weeks with the headlights ziptied on like that. You can barely see. The majority of my riding was at night too.
