Z1000R and Z1000J - Lots of pics, and Gun-Kote oven baked paint.

But... should I use black engine covers...or gold...??? Any thoughts about this???

And do the orange color fit the gold?? HMMM

I love this thread and your work. Yes, I would try to bring in some black to contrast the bright color.

:woohoo: Dang Roy that's looking sweeet! I think the black covers would be nicer but have you considered polishing the covers? Only problem is the valve cover.... they take forever to do. You could then call your bike "GOLDMEMBER" :laugh: Keep them pics coming, cheers, Doug

Hmm, polishing...
Its a pain to keep, and when you first start doing it you have to continue. :evil:

I think the colors will be gold and black, with details in black.
