Backed into answered prayers!!!!
I wanted to get a Bad @$$ paint job for years now and my prayer have been answered........ Akwardly! Lady backed into my parked Ninjette and caused what I thought was minor damage at lost cost. I was wrong and happiely wrong! Damaged items:
(Bad scratched and scraped paint) Front Facial, Wheel fender, Front rim. Scrathed Headlight lense and left side mirror. Torqued the forks (easy alignment fix, forks not damaged. Just misaligned them from the triple crowns), Bent kick stand and bolt. Good news is she did not fall or lay over. She was pushed back 10 inches or so in the collision. The great news is I'm getting $1300 for repairs. Every scratch was priced by the insurance company for "Plastics Replacement". I had a paint shop give me an estimate for a 3 tone custom Pearl Escent Pain job for $500. My fork alignment, kick stand repair and oil change is $250 and my "new" exhaust will be $400. I still have $150 left and will probably go towards a custom airbrush job for my helmet to match my bike. Thought I was going to be angry but Thank God bike parts are exspensive in these cases and everything was minor. Just so everyone knows, my bike would have been totalled out if the cost went past $2200. So, be careful with your bike and the idiots in cars who don't watch. A totalled bike can usually be bought back as a Salvage Title but if you plan on reselling it, Well.. it's not worth $hit and hard to register and insure.

I think it looks good like that! I'm all about the uniqueness of this hobby. If it fits you, then that's all that matters

It's going to get some Team affiliated graphics. Plus I'm wrapping the seats with Jersey + Jersey stitched numbers. There will be a Navy Blue with Burnt Orange pin strip in the Front wheel fairing as well. It should all be done my the end of Dec for looks on the fairings

It looks good! Once you get the team graphics on there it will look even better. The only thing I don't like about it is the shiny stock exhaust.

Looking forward to see it finished. Right now, just looks really mis-matched like you couldn't decide on a color. I actually thought you got all 3 colors to just see how they looked on the bike to pick one, then I realized you wanted it like that....Can't say I really see the magic here but to each his own. As long as you like it, I guess that's all that matters.
