Hi, first time poster, long time lurker. Absolutely beautiful bike. I can really appreciate all the detail you've put into it. I was wondering if your body shop mixed their own paint or if it came from the colorite monopoly? I cant seem to find a legitimate paint code for this color. If you have already answered this, I appologize for being redundant.  Thanks!

Thanks WH! I'm glad that this thread brought you out of "lurker" stage...  ;D 
 
Yes, we had to buy the paint kit from Color-rite.

After seeing the finished machine, I cannot understand why Kawi wont do this from the start with the c14. It just looks "right".

I agree.  Forget about the graphics.  Less is more.

Where did you hear that?

More is more!

WTH??  I go away for a few months, and you paint your bike green?  Wow, so much for going fast and getting away with it.  Can we still ride together?   ;D

Tom, weren't you supposed to be keeping an eye on Jay while I was out?   You know, keeping him on the straight and narrow?


So Jay, what did you have to bribe the bride with to do this (what did she buy)?

ZG, theres no way I coudl have one of your bike.  I'd need two of them so I'd always have  a perfect, pristine one to look at.  My neighbor had the perfect tow vehicle for it out in front of his house.

Imagine a tricked out  Hummer in the same shade of green.  It left before I could snap a pic. My eyes were too teared up to take a photo anyway.

Hi I'm a long time lurker here and I love that green bike, but I have done one of my own, just got it back together and wanted to show it off.
