Well, looks like I will be off work for most of the spring and summer, I need to paint the TLR and replace fork seals and some other little stuff. Anybody paint their own bikes? I am thinking of flat red with reproduced graphics in flat black or carbon fiber to match the tank and fenders. Any ideas or recommendations for paint or colors?

Its black now.



It was pushed over and torn up in the parking lot of my old apartment. I have the bodywork done and smoothed, I just want to change it up a bit. Its been blue and then black for a while, now all of my gear is black and red. I fell in love with this truck and the color combo, and my lid is red rubatone(flat red). I think it will have a nice contrast with the flat red and the shine on the carbon fiber bits and the stylized graphics will be a nice compliment. But I would not mind going back to black, but I would probably go with new plastics if I did.

Every time you post a pic of that bike I need some alone time

I'd put it back exactly the way it was

For reals... I'd say the same scheme... flat black and lose the giant R's.
