Got to test out a whole bunch of new paints from new suppliers. incidentally it ended up being colored like superman, im even considering painting the logo on the tank

-GPX 600 Rear shock
-Heavier Fork oil
-Heavier Springs
-Mirrors/blinkers/headlight
-Shorty can (fark its loud now)
-Air pod fileters
-Rejet (still needs some tunning)

Just glad to be back on the road. almost a shame im off my restrictions in a month and probably getting something bigger.
Not bad cost me $1500 all up.
BTW its a 87 grey import GPX
Still a few little things to do but woot 98% finished and on the road.

Is exposing the engine on a 250 like wearing your undies on the outside super boy?

Did you consider throwing some bog on the tank before paint. You should have some good ideas when you get a larger weapon. If you put the superman logo on it people will think you deal ecstacy.

Here's an idea from an ideas man :D - use the Superman logo but get a gfx designer (whoever makes the sticker/decal for you) to substitute the "S" for a "K". People will think they see the Superman logo and do a double-take.
