Ok, finally an update on this...  ;)


It took 3 tries to try and color match that neon green from the wheels that I had powder coated up last fall, but I'm happy to say we finally got it!!  :thumbs:










I just stopped by the painter to check out the progress...


The badges are all done in the color matched neon green and ready to be be applied to the side mids, side tails, and trunk lid tomorrow!  :)







The fins on the vents of the inside mids came out perfect IMO!  8)











I went ahead and brought those pieces home since their done while I wait on the badged pieces to be finished up, also had the lowers paint matched to my black.  8)













Turned out the light.... and yep! They glow in the dark!!  ;D   :chugbeer: :cool:

That looks so good.  Jay, I know you get bored easily, but for me, your original green was as good as it could possibly be. I cannot wait to see if this finished piece chages my mind. I think the black will put more focus on the front forks, which is good.

ZG, I hope you realize your taking this bike to a point where it would be a crime to ride it?

I don't know of any other C14 that even comes close to your bike.  :hail:
