Pics of the newly painted ZX-10

MotoVegas · 01-29-2008, 01:31 PM

So, here's how it turned out. My buddy has an '07 GSXR 1000 Black/copper. And he wanted his track plastics to kinda match his original paint. I planned on going straight black (like I always do for my bikes; as I've said before, I went to the Henry Ford school of coloring for bikes). But as he was painting I kinda liked the copper and had him do my front and part of my rear fender with the copper. I figured it'd be easier to spot on the track, too. Sure, it's not a "Kawi color" but meh, who cares.

Hopefully I can get some stickers on there soon!

And close up of my new Tech-spec 'Gripster Snakeskin' tank and subframe grips. They feel like they wont destroy my leathers, and yet should provide solid grip:

PS, I tried to embed the pics in the thread so you wouldn't have to click links, but the "img" command didn't seem to work. Could somebody inform me how to embed the pics for future reference? Thanks.

I like the paint, but it's obviously scaring the hell out of that kid!

Haha, my daughter Ashley. 2 1/2 years old. LOVES motorcycles. She was running around it to get me to put her on the 10 and then on the Harley. I'm sure I'm making a HUGE mistake indulging my love for motorcycle into my daughter (well, maybe not everyone loves Frenchie here). Some of her pics with bikes and gear: lol

Ashley on the Harley in the driveway

As soon as she could walk, she would put on my riding boots

Her wanting to go for a ride on the 14...haha

Looks sharp!

Nice! Now add a Bimota Silver Honda wing on the sides and she'll be perfect!

j/k. Looking good.

Nice, very nice.

That really looks sharp. I'd have never thought of combining those colors, but it works.

Love the kid/bike pics. I've got a few of those myself.

Sweet

Looks like a nice job on the paint, too.
