My loss could be your gain. My son wanted some extra money so I had him help me out in the shop.
Long story short; he milled the mounting slot in the wrong area. I have six (6) sets that are still very functional, normally there is a
1/2" slot milled into the tail of the mounts. In order to save these mounts I would have to make a 1" slot. Its not a big deal, but I cannot in good conscious sell them for full price knowing that they are not 100%.
They are normally $40; I will take $25 powder-coated and shipped.
It's your call otherwise they are going in the big round file :( :'(
Here is a link to what the aux lights look like.

If these are the one you made that fit the contour of the fairing, I'll take a pair too! In the '01 Sonic Blue if possible!

Chris, if you're going to match up my 2006 paint (Metallic Nocturne Blue), then I'll be forced to buy a set too!

No, No, No ya goof ball :o Not for me. ;D
In the third picture you can see the "Root Beer" color in the strip on the tank a little better.............where the sun is reflecting. It's hard to catch the true color/effect with a camera. It's a very stunning color combination.

I wish I could take credit for her. That fine example of a ZRX belongs to a ZRXOA member by the name of "Biscuit". He's from the Great White North.
This was mine.

Holy (*%^$^*&(*$()_)+ :banghead: Blue bikes suck :rotflmao:
Cant you guys just ride a normal color like silver, black, or red :nuts:
Take a look at some of these colors and let me know what you think. I am still looking for more 01 colors, its the hardest to match by far.

That looks perfect Chris. Match it to the antler cover once it arrives, I think you'll be surprised. ;D
I'll ignore the "Blue Bike" comment. :rotflmao:

Of course..............................................the Dark Blue might be the ticket. ::)

Hey Chris. If you want, hang on to mine. I'll send you the other thing's we talked about and you can just send everything back in one shipment?
Got storage room? ;D I'll call ya :thumbs:
-
Well what a SOB. There isnt a a damn thing dark blue about that dark blue. It make a beautiful purple. At the right angle it matches the 06 PERFECTLY. At another its still purple. I think the 01 is a good match. Its a little light, but looks very pretty.
I still have the metalic blue to try. I hope it looks better.
-
Chris, if matching up the '06 blue becomes that much of a pain in the rump, just go black, it will match the mirrors and cases, and tip-over bars on mine..

I was going to tell him the same thing Jim. But I know Chris. Once he has a mission, there's no stopping him. If your not in a hurry, just let him run with it. He uses the experience as a "Learning tool". :hail: :chugbeer:
He's definitely one member you have to meet!!!! :thumbs:

Doug you have done business with me way too much and you know me way too well.
I like a challenge and despise defeat. Yes it would be easier to shoot them black; wheres the fun in that.
I will post up some pics after work. Maybe I just take this color matching thing way too serious ???

Too serious? No, that's what you do. Who can complain about a product made by a member who took the time, effot and pride to put their name on it?
I LMAO with the "Where's the fun in that" comment ;D
-
Strange, if you only look at your 06's by photo's this color is for you ???
But I swear its purple. The candy blue looks nice. Wish I had something to compare it next to LOL

Are those bracket the same color? Or is the one on the left the darker Blue?
-
Same color, why do you ask?? :o Are you color blind :P :P
No Doug, the one on the right is sorta Sonic Blue (candy blue) the one on the left is 'dark blue' but I have nicknamed it MOTHER *-$!@% what the cr@p happened purple.
-
For those of you with 06 midnight blue; I apologize. I thought I would try a new company. Its not working out so good. I based my purchase off of the web photos that I posted. The Sonic Blues can go out. I need to order differant powder for the dark blue. If you can spare the time I will get it right. I can do black, chrome, candy persimons red, red wagon, kawasaki lime green, rally wheel sparkle, Ford blue but I will not send you purple for that pretty color of bike.
And yes I have always loved the 06 color.
-
For you Chris, I can wait. :rotflmao: :thumbs:

All is good, Chris. Thanks for your diligent nature, and the land will know thy name, for your work speaks volumes.. (can't find the "kiss butt" smiley)

I would like to tell ya a story that happened in the not so distant past. The year was late 2005, location: Kawasaki headquarters.
Engineer #1 Did you hear that 2006 will be the last year we make the C-10?
Engineer #2 Yes, what a shame. We should makeke it a color that is almost impossible to match.
Engineer #1 Ha-ha that would be awesome.
THE END.
Well I showed them....at least I think I came darn close. I will know more in the am when I open the oven.

-
I think I got the 06's right close. I hope the 01's are a good match.
I do have to apologize; the 06's are not my best work. I had to put down multiple coats to get the color right. The problem that arises from multiple coating is the huge chance of sags In the powder as it melts. Some have some very tiny sags. I honestly doubt you will see them once mounted.
Parts should start leaving Lillie Fabrication and Powder-coating LLC tomorrow.
Thanks everyone for their patience.
Ride safe everyone

You know me Chris. I'd wait another year if that's what you need. Not only am I easy, I trust your work totally. No problem buddy.
-
Mine showed up today. They look great! Thanks!
-
They are a little darker than I had planned. I should have stopped with one coat. If you would like the lighter I would be more than happy to re-coat them.

Not at all. I'm perfectly happy. Thanks again.

Got the Root beer yesterday looks better then the sample pictures in this thread. Thanks Chris.
Jack
-
Chris, got mine today and they look great except for one thing. They are quite a bit lighter then the '01 blue. I saw you said something about recoating them. Is that a pain? If so I can just spray them black. I love how they fit though, way better then the aluminum ones I made on the crash bars!
-
Recieved the package yesterday, opened today.. Damn good match! Better build than what I expected, for sure!
Thank you, Chris!

No problem at all. You spent good money, you deserve a good product that you are happy with.
In the "wanted" section I am trying to round up broken bits and pieces of 86-06 Connies. Think of it as a paint chip chart.
I will re-coat them on one condition...take a pic of them for me. I'm doubting you, I just would like to know how much lighter they are for future reference.
Do you have another color in mind? If you do I can get another set on the way.

You made it an entire day before opening the package...son you have got willpower. Now about this "better build than what i expected" WHAT THE HECK WERE YOU EXPECTING :o :o ??? ??? :rotflmao: :rotflmao: These little mounts go on one of the best bikes in the world. We just cannot haphazardly throw bobbles on them :chugbeer: :chugbeer:
I'm glad you like them.

I just got back for North Carolina at 4 O'clock this morning, package was delived at 10:30 am, opened at 10:31 am. ;D. Thanks Chris. I'll make it out to the garage sometime today............15 hours of driving, I'm not in any hurry to do anything! ;)

They look B-E-A-U-Tiful!!!!Nice touch with the foam padding on the inside of the bracket and the S/S hardware :thumbs:. I'm going to mount them without any lights for now. They'll aide with "High Speed Stability" :chugbeer:

Chris are you looking for color chips? I can send you one from a 1988. How big of a piece do you need?

Sorry brother. I'm still punchy after that drive. BTW, I've mounted the brackets and as far as I can tell (inside the garage) that blue is a fantastic match. I'll pull her out of the garage into the sun light tomorrow.
Thanks again Chris. :chugbeer:

No, thank you Doug. You sent me the plastic to match up the color.

L = (1/2) d v2 s CL
L = Lift, which must equal the bikes weight in pounds
d = density of the air. This will change due to altitude. These values can be found in a I.C.A.O. Standard Atmosphere Table.
v = velocity of a MC expressed in feet per second
s = the wing area of a light mount in square inches
CL = Coefficient of lift , which is determined by the type of airfoil and angle of attack.
Your right, my mistake :-[ I was calculating the altitude of Ia not Wi. Your so smart :P
