You might some ideas from this big Honda: http://www.ebay.com/itm/231028479417





Oh, well, actually, adding silver would prob throw off the gold you already have.

I am all for that Kawi green on a wing.... but the green/silver combo just isn't doing it for me. At least not the way they have done it there.

Hmmmm, IDK...  ???


Something about Kawi green on a Honda just seems odd or not right to me...  :-\

Just paint it Silverdammit and be done with it ;D ;D ;D

FWIW, I wouldn't do any imitating type color schemes.  I wonder how a bright copper color with green highlights would look?

 :o  not...

The advantage IMO is that I can see it on other bikes prior vs blindly hoping it looks good, plus the paint can always be ordered again if I need more. My thought on the 09 ZX14 paint was 2 fold, one being that it's from an 09 which i saw fitting for my 09, and the other being a Kawi color it might be more well received vs say a Ducati/Yamaha/Honda etc color...

That zx14 was so beautiful in person.  In fact, it left such an impression on me, that I had someone paint my zx10 the exact same way.  Now that was a badass bike....man do I miss it.  I'll try to find some pics of it to post

I was in Belgium a couple weeks ago and passed by a Kawasaki dealer and saw the Green C-14. Very nice!

Very interesting indeed...  :-\


Has anyone ever done any of the "wraps" on their bike? That might be another way to do something trick like that?  :-\

Here's what I'm thinking lately for running the neon green wheels I had powder coated up the other month with my black bodywork, do the Kawi & Connie badges painted to match the neon green and also the air vent fins...


What do you guys think?  :-\

I still have my original black set boxed up in the garage, so I was thinking maybe just use that set, paint the lowers to match and then do the green highlights and badges, a pretty low cost option in comparison to the other 2 sets of bodywork...  :-\
