custom paint
 

well i've determined that i can no longer keep the hawk the stock yellow color, at least not all the way. i need some ideas about what looks good on the hawk. ive searched about every graphics place on the web and i haven't really seen anything that i like that well. plus i'm not sure how good they will look. especially if i install them on my own. so i'm thinking about spending some dough on the real deal. does anybody have any suggestions about a site to view some custom painted superhawks. i'm not looking to copy cat anybody, just need a few ideas. also, i'm not really into the flame theme. its alittle over done for my taste. looking for something simple but effective.

I would suggest you paint it solid midnight blue and enjoy the extra 5 mph you gain in the process. That is correct, dark blue IS the fastest colour :)

i like blue, but i'm trying to get away from a completely solid color, ... even if it cost me a few miles an hour. maybe grey/ silver / black? the possibilities are endless.

Re: custom paint
 

Mikstr, your the Devil!!! Blue, ha ha......Everbody knows that BLACK is indeed the fastest color, bar none!!! Heck just in the time you have been reading this, I have flown past you three times, and am back in my chair and on the computer again.... :lol: :P :P Blue however is the second fastest color I will give you that, and it may be 5 mph faster than yellow, don't know....

Try going simple with a solid color and set it off with minimal graphics. Check out all of the pictures of mine on myspace.

A bit much for my taste but here are some interesting paint jobs with military themes.

I'm a huge fan of the two tone black/grey. I love the "black/tribal" that honda had on the 2005 CBR600RR. If I ever had a few extra bills hanging around I'd do something like that offset with some red Honda decals.

And you could definitely hit the Military/Blackhawk Theme with either the black/grey or two tone green to match the chopper.

I hope everyone noticed the passenger pegs on that busa!
Although a bit tacky for me too, those foot pegs are pretty cool.

Re: custom paint
 

I like the Orange tribal CBR scheme too.

Re: custom paint
 

a little help please. i can't figure out how to view the pics that you guys posted. they won't open. i guess i have to be smarter than my computer!!!

Well technically I have mine custom painted but it's a solid jet black (lincoln navigator) with about 5 layers of clear so it's nothing "exotic" and except for appearing to be still wet it looks stock.

Here's one: http://tinyurl.com/n44kn
I can't believe no one's bidding on it (heavy sarcasm).

Got to admire that guy's enthusiasm, and ability to knock down the flamers :-)
Paint looks beautiful and shiny .... but color is ugly as hell. Unless you like 70's choppers.
He should have saved his money on the stupid bicycle computer, and put some decent aftermarket turnsignals on the bike. Who ever heard of a "custom bike" with a pair of elephant ear stock Honda turnsignals.

Temple, not too far at all. Too bad I'm headed home in a week.

What's the matter you guys don't like bowling balls? :lol: Poor guy though, I've noticed some people just like to F with you when you've got something to sell.

Re: custom paint
 

That's not true, I have stuff to sell, and noone has F'd with me yet, then again I don't try to slip it into every conversation, or post like some people....On that note if anyone needs a starter bike for whatever reason, or a good commuter bike check out my wifes bike https://www.superhawkforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=2724

See I don't do that all the time, cause it would get old.....just like a job that you might do everday, the same ole same ole, it is time for a change, see cliffhangerstx.com a great business for you, be your own boss!!!! It is for sale!!!

i like that look! i may rethink the entire paint job and go with a tapeworks 1041 kit. it has a similar look. i also found another kit from www.alloutgraphics.com its about half the price, but i have never heard about there quality. i've often heard you get what you pay for.
