I love how the closer to the bike you get the more things in the paint become apparent but from a distance it doesnt look busy. Keppi, You have amazing taste.

Can you explain where you got or how you made your tail light? Any better pics of that area?

I guess I wonder why more people haven't decided or have there Buell's painted

Dana, I'd like to... But mine is used as everyday transportation 10-11 months out of the year. And the Buell plastics as is, is pretty tough. I just do some major buffing once or twice a year to get the shine back.

If I do decide to do something with the color, I'm almost tempted to do a Packer Green and gold bike : )

Steve,

You let me know. Take the yellow and add some pearl. Take the white add some pearl. Take some green and add chameleon to it. Then airbrush the Packer logo and dust it with pearl. Now that would look cool and in the sun it would really pop. Just an idea.

Probably far too much $$$ for someone as cheap as myself : )

Another reason why the Ulybolt is still red : )

Paint is expensive no doubt. Will over at the Shop is doing Flame jobs whether its true fire or flames. Doesn't matter what color... candy or otherwise and two color flames or true fire and hes doing it for 1200.00. So yeah it isn't cheap but hes one of the best Wisconsin has.

Not Buell Steve but this is incredible as far as airbrush work is concerned.

Keppi, Where did you get that swing arm? Or did you make the hole yourself?

Delta1, sorry just saw your post now. The leather wrapping (which I've done on all of my bikes since 1993) is done by Ironbraid. Whenever I get a new bike, I ride up to Lake George in June (Americade) and have them wrap the levers. My 1125R now has the black and red wrapping.

I find that especially in the winter, it gives me a better feel on the brake and clutch.

You can also just send them your levers if you don't want to make the trek to Americade. For me, it's just another excuse to take a ride.
