It will be matt black finish, what do you guys and girls think?

its ok if your not going to try and sell it... Coupars in fife endded up taking all the orange stuff off a whole load of GSXR600's cause they couldn't get rid of them...

Personnally I think it looks smart!!!

I heard that they did that to try and sell them as a "Limited Edition", similar to the all black Gixer Thou' LE model. As it wasn't an official Suzuki model they got a mixed reaction.

I'd like it without the orange. But people see respray and they think "crashed bike". Sometimes it's true, in my case it's purely a coincidence

i really like it, what color is it at the moment??

It is red at the moment. I only got it in december but someone has managed to chip some paint off the side of the tank (It was parked next to a moveable bollard and someone must have reversed into the bollard and it chipped some of the paint off the tank)

I always fancied a matt black bike, and really like the few orange details. I know it might be hard to re-sell but i will get it done properly by Dream Machine. So hopefully it will look the dogs nads!!

I plan on keeping it for a few years at least anyway.

personally I think its the dogs soft fleshy bits, have you had a quote on how much its going to cost as not wanting to be a copy cat but I've always wanted to do somethin similar with my Curvy which I have to admit has been crashed (not my fault I add!)

cheers and good luck!

Heard a few tales about Dream Machine.

Guy on the SOC told them to paint his bike such and such a scheme, but they went ahead and did something different, and were then very reluctant to fulfill his bidding when he complained.

Anybody else had problems with them?

Why not take a couple of pics in the painters workshop just prior to the respray as evidence of no accident damage.

YUp, they're legendary for that, sort of like Zorstec. Artists eh?

One of the guys on Oldskoolsuzuki took them his 7/11. Paint it gloss black with a yellow stripe. 3 weeks later, he goes by to pick it up. Gloss black, check. Yellow stripe, check. Picture of a shark on the tank?

It was a good shark though.
