look's cool is that ktm orange unique.

[Oggyplonk]

the color is original kawasaki wild night fire orange....looks awesome in the sun

[zsv650]

very cool not too flash either which is always a good thing.

[DarrenSV650S]

That looks VERY nice mate. I was considering getting my bike orange when I got it sprayed but bottled out. Yours looks great:cool:

[Oggyplonk]

thanks......took ages on deciding the right color. still a few things ive gotta do to it but its almost there

[hovis]

looks good................. im not keen on the tank cover thingy though

[Girth]

What mirrors are those?

[Oggyplonk]

I prefer it to the sticky cover as this one cover the whole side of the tank too

[Oggyplonk]

What mirrors are those?


gsxr k8 mirrors but they didnt go straight on so had to buy set of gsxr k4 mirrors too and use the brackets of em

[Girth]

Looks very good though!

[Oggyplonk]

cheers

The new paint looks great, the rim tape compliments it well. But the tank cover looks like a pair of leather pants.

[petevtwin650]

Does look sleek in it's new coat of paint. :cool:

Another one against the Tank Bra. Can you not fit some of that clear helicopter tape or Venture tape as I believe it's marketed as.

[zsv650]

i reckon a plain black tank protector would set it off a treat against the orange.

[Oggyplonk]

hmmm interesting.........some people like it some people dont....i got it free when i brought the bike may get a normal tank cover from work and see what it looks like

[petevtwin650]

It's your bike. If you like it, then leave it alone. :cool:

[Oggyplonk]

I do and i dont if ya get what i mean....i think it looks ok, but its always moving about and really annoys me..

[DarrenSV650S]

If it's moving about it might do more harm than good compared to a normal tank pad. Watch you don't get dirt or anything behind it

[mike_avfc]

that colour is lovely, i like the way you've sprayed the hugger as well, really stands out.
tank cover is errr, unique. indifferent on that one. Mirrors do make it look like a snail with the eyes on stalks, then again i have the same mirrors :smt083

you've done a cracking job on it, well done

[Gene genie]

looks ace. gixer indy mirrors look well. certainly unique without going ott.

[Oggyplonk]

Cheers guys....the mirrors do look a bit alien like but I like em. Theres a few things I still wanna do. Just gotta get some money first :p

[Rich]

Nicee,, loving the orange some nice touches. It's a real shame the mirror stems aren't abit smaller they would have been perfect then.. Great job!!!

[Sally]

In that album, when the bike was blue, what was the blue cover?? on the exhaust?
Looks ace..

Orange suits it well though mate.

[Oggyplonk]

its a Carbon Can Company exhaust, they do it in many different colours....I cut that one down to 7 inches....twas very loud

I think ive still got it somewhere

[Sally]

Not the exhaust am after mate, the nice blue band round it?
Know what material its made of?
Already got a exhaust :)

[Oggyplonk]

Sorry not sure what it is made of mate...

[etuna]

can someone upload the photos?

[Oggyplonk]

cant you see em on the link?

[golop]

I like it so much, so I started to think to re-spray my bike...Because when I bought it it had already fe scratches...

But can you tell me how much have you paid for everything?? :)
Many thanks

[Oggyplonk]

I got all the parts at trade price through work so not very expensive. The paint job however I got done for free but I had to supply the paint....good to know people in the right places.

I would say the whole thing must of cost me around £200

[golop]

Do you think I could spray it by myself?? Obviously it won't; be same quality, but much cheaper....:)

[Oggyplonk]

You could do if you had a spray gun....takes a lot of time and preperation mate

[Dave20046]

God that looks awesome. Lemme know when you're selling it.

[Oggyplonk]

you say that, I am gonna be putting it up for sale over the weekend mate

[Dave20046]

[pookie]

any tips on how to get the gixer mirrors converted for the sv? Love to get some on mine

[Dave20046]

haha not that soon :mad:
unless of course it's a sexy price :)

The gixxer k8 mirrors dont fit straight on cos the mounts are different. The mounts on the SV fit on the k8 mirrors but put them in a stupid position, so I brought a set of gixxer k4 mirrors. I used the k4 mirror mounts on the k8 mirrors and bobs your uncle....

[Oggyplonk]

unless of course it's a sexy price :)


hmmmm sexy price....not sure yet. Need to look on bike trader and other sites to see what the average price is...

[Dave20046]

[etuna]

Yes, A mate of mine did his ZX9 in a similar colour from spray cans.

Preparation is the key. Wasn't as good as a body shop job, but it was fine.

He got his paint from a car paint surplier in aersol cans

[Quiff Wichard]

Northwind sprayed his own.............

if i recall he said never ever again....

[caz650s]
