my latest build. 2 stroke GT185 cafe racer.

That seat and tail look great - sorry if you've already said but do you have a paint colour in mind or are you leaving it brushed metal? Love the brushed metal look

Still deciding on color. I am having the tank and seat powder coated. It will be a lot cheaper and more durable than paint. I was kicking around a couple colors. Maybe grey for a monotone look. Otherwise I was thinking a dark-ish candy red. The other idea I had was black with a metal flake powder top coat. I think I’ll get the bike together and decide at that time. Hopefully I get the frame this weekend and I can get it all together.

picked up my parts from powder coater this week. Most of the parts are a metallic grey. Its very similar in color to a raw metal (as noticed by how close in color it looks to the bare metal tank).

its hard to tell because of the dark pictures in my garage, but the metallic really shimmers in the sun. Got the engine inside the frame and the forks mounted. Still waiting for the same guy to finish trueing the wheels. The chambers took a little persuading to fit properly and I still have to bend the right side footrest mounts because they contact the right chamber. Also had to bend the rear brake foot lever.
