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 ???


 :rotflmao:
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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
