I like that that alot but the green is awesome too, specially in sunlight. Looks wicked and menacing mat-black though, good job.

I'm thinking about doing that in blue metallic, like the ZZR1400 once had, when it came out. But looking at my bike I immediately hit a snag, concerning the caps of the front fork and the resevoir of the rear wheel suspension. The youtube poster obviously also didn't have an answer for that.

Wonder what it cost him, because a LOT of parts have to come off! Even if he did all the dismantling and putting back together by himself.

Maybe some adhesive film in the same color? At least for the resevoir.

Oh, and I also noticed, the Kawasaki letters on the tank are gone. I percieved them as a problem as well. Or maybe he didn't want them in the first place...

Every bike around here in matt black are the ones someone has dropped and done some homestyle repairs - matt paints assisting in the disguise of bad fiberglassing/bogging...so I with that prejudiced view I can't stand the look... but each to their own and big + for the effort to create his ride they way he wanted it...

I'm with 2hypr, derox and houtexh2sx on this one. Looks like a cheap tip over repair to me.

Same here. Only thing missing is the "Zombie Outbreak Response Team" stickers on the side.

His bike, his choice. My choice whether I like it or not.
