So I was talking to a buddy of one of my good friends, he just opened up a shop that makes airplane tools and have a big PC setup. He said if I buy my own powder we can go to the shop and have a few sodas on a Saturday and do my stuff.. for free :cool:

I did rebuild last winter with minimal time (>45hours) on the bike, but since I have some small stuff to do anyway (shock springs, upper A-arms, steering stem), I'm thinking about changing all of the yellow I have to gold, maybe rockin' white fenders.

Let me know what you guys think would look good! (I want to keep the black stuff black for simplecity)

haha thanks boneless, I've been getting alot of that.. maybe I'll do my 250r white/gold or yellow/black to match the 450 first then.

I mean, c'mon Free PC, I HAVE to get something done. How often does a deal like that come around.. (no charge to prep either!)

Since I snapped my stem, I'm having a chrome stem PC'd and my upper Houser arms done like the old set were. maybe I'll just do them yellow again.

Anybody do gold/black before?
