Looks more green than blue to me that color code is Hex Green Metallic.

Blue is more like this

Probably one of the best places to find the old colors in new formulas. They have just about all of them. $$$ though.

Nice, like the tail light. CBR 600RR? I have a similar seat and thought about doing something like that.

yes. It's from 05 cbr600rr. I had a zx7r tail on it before and did't really like it. The RR tail light looks a lot better and it's Honda eom part. I am almost finish with the seat, just needs clear coat and decal put on. I will post picture later.

Any chance you can measure your seat/tail light at the bottom or widest part?

Grizwold here are the measurement of my seat that i made. 16" long, 6 1/2" wide at the front, 8 1/2" wide at the back and 4 1/2" high. I used 18 gauge sheet for the base, bent both flanges down and bent the back part up. (16 degree angle) I used 20 gauge sheet wrapped it over to make the dome and a lot of cutting and grinding to get the tail light to fit just right. I hope this help you out. good luck.

Best tail setup I've ever seen. Will be showing this build off. Can't wait to see final piece

wow the decals on the tail really set it off. What kind of 2-1 exhaust is on there?

I love how you shortened the factory front turn signals. I've been considering doing the same to my CL360 front and rear. Looks real nice
