It's a Granny Smith Green with Silver Metallic Base Coat

With these white carbon fiber plastics from Maier...

My birthday is a month away so hopefully I will have enough to get the plastics with bday cash.



What do ya think? Any opinions on the color combos, etc.?

Oh man i think that thing will look awesome, i love that green, who makes that i have never seen it before, its a powdercoat right.

[KISSmyACE]

well the silver metallic base coat is pretty common, you could get anywhere. and the granny smith green is fairly common. check out powderbuythepound.com

and thank you!! hopefully the glittery-ness isn't too girly lol but i hope it turns out well. im torn between that green or a bright red.

I'm also thinkin about getting new tires once mine start to wear.

Have any of you guys run the Maxxis Razr Cross tires up front yet? From what I've read, they have great side bite and are good for a lot of hardpack and "desert" conditions. Sounds like FL to me lol.

I want those in a 20" for the front and then a set of 19" MXR4s for the rear.

maybe up north... south florida is NOT even close to 'desert' conditions. its all swampy and wet down here.

well I'm in the Tampa area so it's like dirt/sandy/hardpack..... wet some times, of course when it decides to monsoon or hurricane lol. during the summer our torrential 4pm downpours dont even make it soggy.

[Miami_Vice454]

yea tampa is pretty dry. down here its so wet especially if you ride to the west. but then again its pretty close to the everglades lol

[KISSmyACE]

yup! I wouldn't wanna live in a marsh! I love it here

[Miami_Vice454]

well im in a suburb do its not like i live in it but about an hour ride from my house and we are. an hour on the quads though. i love how i can ride like 30 miles in each direction from my house and the cops dont even care because its all back roads that nobody drives on lol
