Hm, I'm sensing a theme here that matches your Jeep. :whistle:

Looks pretty cool!

Back in '86 I gave my '82 KZ305 to my older brother who was career military to the bone (he had gone through all 4 branches of the service at least once, and had just re-enlisted in the Marines the 3rd time when he drowned while on vacation).
He sanded it down and rattle-canned it woodlands camo.
Surprisingly since the bike was in fact in camo attire, you could still see him coming from a mile away. :laugh:

very observant. that was the idea. but i'm really wanting to do an old school cafe and now i'm not sure it'll work with the paint scheme, but then again cafes arent' about the color, right? i've got 2 parts bikes and even considered painting the body pieces different and just change the tank, sidecovers, and tail to suit my mood. i call it, the swatch bike:lol:

You have a point on it not being about the color or pattern.

I'm thinking though (Uh-oh!:ohmy: ), that paint scheme is almost calling out to have a sidecar mounted to the bike.

Nah, that really wouldn't look good on a cafe' bike unless the bike was slammed to about an inch of the ground like the sidehack race bikes that run the Isle Of Man.

Looks good, but only one star? Oh I guess two, one on each side.

Have a blast riding.

well it was gonna be o.d. and white to match the jeep but more of a 70's twist. the tank was gettin two parallel stripes with 2" stars in a row between em like evel kneivel stripes but i did the rear and sides first and it just kinda evolved. really do need a removable sidecar for my dog (he usually goes everywhere) but this is my first bike and i hear it's hard to ride with one.

is that a 650b for brigadier(something like that anyway)i was an enlisted man myself,how about a nice set of stripes.make sure they are velcroed on like my rank was so its easier to put back on at the end of the month after they take it away at the end of the month!:whistle: :evil: :woohoo: goodluck,happy wrenching!
