Green ! WTH. Motorcycles are not meant to be green - unless of course they are Kawasaki with that lurid lime green that is so bad it looks good.

I like that midnight purple color with a yellow highlight or chrome yellow with carbon left au naturel to provide the black contrast. How about metalflake orange to add some glitter and 70s style?

 

[bradj]

Im looking into blue or orange with big roth flake

Built a rear exh mount ha it dont look like much but trust me it was the biggest ass and im not finished with it. soooo in standard me fashion i quit and started something else. the swing arm swap is 75% finished. i still need to grow the axl plates ta 20mm and redo the pivot point bushings

 

[bradj]

I cut the pivot outta my braced xs swingarm :'(. it sucked but i needed it i then cut a few inches outta the dr swing arm and made them whole again. so the shock mounts have been drilled and tapped to 10mm the pivot is factory xs. i still need to grow the axle plates from 16 to 20mm and build a brake stay

I'm lovin this build man. I flipped through this whole thread and didn't see it; did you ever figure out what sprocket would work with the right teeth (tooth ) count on that RM hub? Gonna run a 520 chain on there?

 

[bradj]

Im pretty sure it a mid 90's rm and yea i did a 520 swap

 

[smalls650]
