  • I love my kat! painted it red and turned out ok!

    Hi all, thought I'd share how much I love riding...it's been 3 weeks . And the camaraderie of sport bikers are awesome! It's similar to jeep owners

    Anyways, I bought a 1996 600 three weeks ago a day after I passed my MSF. It was all sprayed with flat black including the windshield. I decided to paint it red to be more visible to other drivers :fingerscross: and it's a bit easier to wipe down and clean. What do you guys think? I added flush front signals, got new windshield and mirrors since they were scratched.

    I'll probably add decals so that it's not just plain red, but nothing too crazy.

    Not too shabby at all there, Rogue. Did you rattle can her, or shoot her with a gun? Looks like she just needs a good buffing to raise the shine.

      Thanks! it's only a rattle can but it still needs to be wet sanded a bit and buff. I just finished her yesterday and waiting to completely dry.

                      Yep, I have two Cherokees. One is my nice one that is built to go over anything but I kept the lift low to make sure I keep it nice. My wife claimed that as her DD and sold her car. The other is my Chugly Jeep (cheep/ugly). I used as little $$ as I could in the build and built a lot of components myself. Its a bit hobbled together right now but its comming along.

                      Its just sucks in PA, wheeling is expensive as the only public use is fire roads in game lands. That and since Paragon was closed there is only Rausch Creek to go to, I'm lucky its just over an hour to get there. Its a good hoby, expensive but a good day wheeling is better then a good day riding.
