I know some have been waiting for my pics. so here's a sneak preview!


The decals are not here yet I went with factory decals. and the inside shot does this paint no justice at all. out in the sun there is lots of gold pearl in the orange and blue mica in the black! if you lookat the one picture from the angle at the turn signal pod you can kinda see how the gold pearl looks. it took alot of hours but well worth it. the wheels came out perfect from the powder coater as well. And on a side note I can't wait to get back out as I've lost 8 lbs since the weekend the bike tipped over and figure I'm good for two more this week.

I will smokin! it turned out really good and for me to say that it has to be good because I'm picky as hell. I hate to even take to the track with out the decals but going to anyway As one side is on back order for another week or so. when the sun hits all the angles then the gold pearl comes to life. we did alittle something different that we where told about, we put a mixture of the pearl paint in the first two coats of clear and then 3 more coats of clear after that. really looks deep and wet all the time. that paint has not been buffed or waxed yet!

I like that color. Different, but refined. That's a fine line to walk! Very clean looking.

You have to admit the styling is good.
I read somewhere that the styling was a like a drop of candle wax.
Nice looking bike Bently.

If its GilberJJ approved its gotta be good. I like the fact you are going back with the factory stickers. Do booza's have a se version like 14's? If so I would add them and tell everybody its the ultra-rare color scheme to stir the pot. Looks really nice Bently.

Loox good man! Custom scheme going on with it and the contrast is pretty wicked too -- but personally, I think I would have gone black on the front & rear turn signal pods to accent them as well.......but still pretty sweet even though I'm not a fan of the newer tail section on the busa - I likey

I've seen a red one with the turn signal pods black and it was ugly IMO. totaly looked out of place

My opinion only, buuuuuuuuut...... NO DECALS!!!!!!
That paint is far too good to put decals on.
Bike looks great!
