  • Repainting

    [/IMG]I have been re painting my bike, it was burnt orange. I have been re painting it black, not sure if I should keep going.

    Yeah, you should keep going. You took too much orange off, looks odd.

        Needs some orange in the rear or paint the front fender black. Missing a balance point. I liked the orange myself...

          I kinda liked the orange too. Just add some orange striping and some decals to blend the fender and tank

            Mine is almost completely black and it looks awesome. I've been adding red parts to it and it looks better by the day.

            My guess is that if you like the orange, you could replace the smaller parts because a black Kat with orange extras will look amazing. But if you keep the larger parts like the fender and the tank it will need some stripes for style or it just looks a bit odd.

            By small things I mean Brake lines, Bar ends, Chain guard. Maybe paint the tank black and add an orange tank guard or some type of orange stripes? Potentially replace the bolts on your fairing for orange bolts?

              Might be hard to find orange Suzuki stickers or Katana stickers.
              I'd go all black. Since black is kind of neutral, you can choose what ever color decals.

                I replaced all the fairing bolts with chrome, wasn't cheap!

                  Did you leave the tank and front fender orange? I think it looked awesome!
