    Add some red stripes and you'll have that Honda Hurricane look from 1987.

    that looks much better than the photoshop. Maybe it is the 911 that is photoshopped into the old image :wink:

    I guess I'm the odd man out. I don't like it. Put some more red accents on the bike & I'll probably think it looks better. Put a Sargent seat with a red welt on it & that's kinda what I'm talking about. Maybe some Honda wings or logo's in red? This is not meant to be an insult. As long as you like the finished product, that's all that really matters.

    If it were my bike, I would have gone with a pearl metallic silver or gun metal gray.

    I know you said painted, what kind of paint & method was used?

    KC-10 FE out...

    I actually photoshopped the wheels to silver and Titanium. they both looked bland. The silver looked white because of the flat black bike.

    The paint is a two part epoxy by Laurer that is used extensively in the firearms business.

    I'm going to add Red "Wings" and "interceptor" logo.
