I am digging the black-carbon-black chrome thinking......The engine cases, cylinder and head will be satin black, with the covers all being high gloss black, except for the "D" shaped camp plugs which will be gold. I am still thinking about the Metallic Emerald that I will be PC'ing the carb bodies to match the base paint color. Hmmmm......

NakedFun Topic Author Offline User Posts: 1095 Thank you received: 99	I like the gold (obviously looking at my color scheme!) but with the rotor center and hub are also that color, I want some contrast by bringing in another color already on the bike, but the opposite of the color spectrum.

StreetfighterKz Offline User Posts: 1510 Thank you received: 117	What about gold calipers but strip/polish the letters? That might tie in nicely. Later, Doug 1978 z1000 Streetfighter 1976 z900 Stripfighter (work in progress) 1983 Gpz750 Resto-Mod 1989 Vmax

Just a small update due to deer hunting opener this weekend.... Got my centering collar drilled, countersunk, and double row sealed bearing pressed into place for further mockup. Looks like I'll need a 0.986" spacer for the axle on the left hand side of the wheel.

However, it looks like there is NO way I can get around it, I am going to have to notch the frame just as the Sanctuary does. Oh well.......
