Title: 1st day photos

If it works these are the photos from the day I bought my bike. Of course it isn't finished because parts take forever to arrive!

The pics might not stay on bikepics.com, because it says at the website no pictures of bikeparts or accesories, so they might boot my pictures.

Thanks,

Yeah my frame was silver, now it's black near the tank and fenders, didn't wan't to strip down the whole bike just for painting, but it needed black near the yellow or it just isn't the same. When it's back together I'll be sure to post the pics.

Not sure what I'm going to do with graphics on tank and fenders yet? I'm ascared to touch them they came out better than I had planned.

I got a matching keychain for the yellow that I thought was pretty funny. Simple minds ;D

Kropatchek,

What are the symbols on your tank?! The one all the way to the right is what gave me the idea for the smiley face key chain! Your tank looks cool. 8)

Sorry to butt in, but those are Japanese "katakana" symbols that say "sa-ve-ji" i.e. Savage! Cool yellow, I had a 350 Ducati in that same color.

Smiley face mods. This is what I have become. Waiting for my bike parts has done this to me :P

Chain shortened to keep it from beaten the heck out of my side cover. Eyes elongated, curved, and pointed with sharpy marker to enhance savage look. haha

Man, you've GOT to bring that to the shop... When mine is back together, get some shots of them for the board members to ogle. Nice work so far.

You're almost right.

The sound "ve" does't excist , it's pronounced "ba".
So it is Sa-ba-ji" accoording the Japaneese proffesor in our shooting club.

@seattle-savage

Like the smiley on the keyring.

Wow - that yellow looks really good. How did you choose the shade and paint type and that sort of thing? Did you do the prep and painting yourself?

The paint looks nice. like the smile face. but I drove a school bus for a few years just kind of reminds that. but looks good. 8)

Thanks for all the replies. Just a note the smiley face isn't actually on the tank. Palladin adobied it there. I am/have considered it now though.
