Motorcycle Makeover

tjkamper · March 20th, 2010, 01:45 PM

I recently learned how to do auto body and painting. So to practice my new skill, I gave my bike a makeover.

My favorite super model posed for some of the pictures.

It was a lot of work and a lot of fun. Soon I will be adding some decals as accent, but It may be a few weeks.

What say ye about the new colors?

WOW Travis. GREAT JOB! Very GSXR-ish, but MUCH different lines. Looks SEXY as hell! Great job! Side Business Opportunity!!!!

I really think it i too much time and my wife would never forgive me if I started to do this as a side job. THanks for the comment.

Looks great. Good job.

JeffM · March 21st, 2010, 07:23 AM

Very nice TJ.

tjkamper · March 21st, 2010, 08:29 AM

Yeah, I've been busy. It took me about 20 hours to do the paint on the bike. I did it all in about a week and a half. That much time in the garage, made my wife think that I love the bike more than her. I'm glad I am done with the project, and now that my wife sees it done, she understands why it was worth it.

JeffM · March 21st, 2010, 09:40 AM

Looks like it is time to get the wife a nice gift - or two.

BlueRaven · March 21st, 2010, 09:45 AM

Looks like you have a future "america's top model" to pose in your pics. She's a real cutie.

Nice job on the bike.

tjkamper · March 21st, 2010, 11:25 AM

No not Americas next top model. My daughter is going to be MS. UNIVERSE

Cute kid

Nevrfastenuf · March 21st, 2010, 01:13 PM

The bike looks great! I really like the color combination

If you aren't already planning on it I would highly recommend getting a tank pad to keep that nice black paint from getting scuffed. My friends black tank really shows the scratches

tjkamper · March 21st, 2010, 01:17 PM

I'm planning on puting one on, but I never see anything I like. Atleast my Tank bag has a padded flat that gives it some protection. Where is the best place in SLC to get a pad. I alway check out plaza cycle, but for as much as they like to talk themselves, up they really arn't that great of a dealer if you ask me.

min nin · March 21st, 2010, 05:09 PM

That looks great!

Can you do mine next?

tjkamper · March 22nd, 2010, 07:36 AM

Too bad you live so far away. I would definately go for it if it were geographically possible.

Blue Monkey · March 22nd, 2010, 11:14 PM

Hey Clint, good to see you on. His bike does look good. We were wondering about Nebo. Is it too early to go there?

divingtigger · March 23rd, 2010, 08:35 AM

Looks good, not sure what it is about little girls and bikes, my daughters love mine too, but my wife hates it.
