the bike is not done as you can see (a little body work) what do you think so far no one really knows what it looks like so what you think

is redoing the seat hard?
i was think black but the blue is growing on my

I'm not a huge fan of the matte black unless everything is done in matte black. But on bikes to me it usually just looks like someone just bought the plastics and put it on there without painting, it's unfortunate because it's a sweet color. I just think with plastics that usually come in some form of matte, it doesn't do it justice to leave it matte. I'm sure it looks way cooler in person.

Also, the red frame does stick out and I probably would have gone black since everything else will be blacked out (batman bike anyone?), and the light blue seat doesn't seem to fit with it all as well as a black seat would, but this is just my opinion. It looks like you're on your way to a sweet setup though, keep at it!

Once you get a black seat and everything is matte I think it will be a sweet batman bike.

Could you insert some punctuation into your last post there please? I'm not really a grammar Nazi, but that was pretty hard to decipher.

If your going matte black, I could see the red frame as a break point, IE somthing different that the same old matte black bike everyone else does but, I would old school some rat rod type pin stripping on it, either a black, red or even a black seat with red piping, black or dark tint winscreen with red led instrument lighting and some red under lighting. OH crap,,, I see another kat project brewing,,,hhmmm... RAT ROD KAT..... I wunder if I could mod some spoke wheels to a kat, Red spokes, matte black rims and hubs, Loud ass pipes..duals that dump on both sides.... Keep at it, remember this "Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one but, your is the only one you should be bothered with"

Looks like crap honestly. matte black does not work with the bike as you have it planned out now. and that red is pink...

[katana7500]

it really does look better in person

Front fender looks good.

for some reason, I kind of doubt that.

even though I find that "crap" is a bit harsh in describing it, you do have some serious clashes happening. first, that blue seat has to go. as for the red that looks like pink...well it's not really a bad color in itself. it just doesn't go with the matte black. however, I think it would match nicely to a gloss black, with a little bit of "red that looks like pink" striping that will match the frame.
you should also do something with the rims. it's just too much flat black going on. my suggestion would be to remove the paint from the lips of rims and polish them. I really think it would give it a little more "oomph!".

it's not so bad that I think you have to start from scratch, but it does look like it was just thrown together from a bunch of old parts. you are simply trying to mix matte black with bright colors, and that doesn't work so well.

am I the only one around here worried about someone with these kinds of writing abilities riding a motorcycle around? lol

i cant read and right that good ..does not mean my eye hand is not that good

Keep at it, most have started mods and ended up going a different direction. IMO the frame needs to redone with a more vibrant red, like fire truck red. some reds do tend to turn out pinkish. test sample the color before application. If your using a spray can, use only automotive type paint. such as "duplicolor".

At the end of the day it doesn't matter a s**t what anyone else on here thinks, if that look is what floats your boat then go with it. Only thing to bear in mind is that if you ask on here for people's opinions you're going to get them, usually straight from the hip for good or bad.

Keep it up, it'd be a boring world if we all liked/did the same things

If you like the "murdered" look go for it man. In my opinion, I would add some touched like some others suggested. Maybe as subtle as gloss black on the side panels around the openings for example just to give it some more texture. Or even a pin striping detail around certain curves.

As for the seat, you can get some marine vinyl from most arts/crafts shops, 1 cubic yard will be plenty for both seats. It helps to have a friend (my wife helped me ) to help hold and pull. It takes some yanking an elbow grease to get a good fit. I started stapling the sides first and worked to the front an back. Don't go crazy with staples until your sure your good though! An that vinyl is pretty damn strong so unless your hercules you shouldn't rip it haha. I think it cost me about 10 bucks for vinyl an had both done in an hour or 2 max. Once you do that it will help smooth out the color combo you got going on an make it easier to figure out your details. Good luck! Be sure to update with a new pic or 2 with better lighting so we can see it's not pink
