if i was going to do it orange i would have to go for focus st orange over anything else lol

 

KTM Orange has a pearl in it, i love orange and matt black.

 

ORANGE!!!!

 

keep the ideas coming and ill try get a few photoshops done of what different ones will look like, thats if i have time lol

 

couple of different oranges:


not too sure bout this one:


couple of reds:


Really like this one:


I still have plenty of time before i decide what colour to do it, so not in any rush

 

Hahaha, the 2nd one is the exact colour of my bike

 

Well not got anything done today i had a lazy day and sorted a few things out around the flat, waiting for my wire drill bits to turn up so i can get some bits cleaned up.

Also i am going towards the idea of candy red for fairings with white graphics and pearl white wheels.

 

That why you should never of sold your orange sd.

 

Well got a bit more done on it today, thought i would clean the engine up.
Still need to take casings off and do them and take oil filter off and pipes to get behind them, but it is almost ready for some high temp paint.
Just have to wait for some money to get the paint lol

Before




After



Still got a bit to do on the block, my back started hurting so i called it quits for today, will carry on with it tomorrow. its looking good though

 

what you use to clean it?
its done a good job.

 

cheers guys, i used wire drill bits.
Bought a set off ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130590419939?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Good and cheap

 

Well got a few more things cleaned up ready for paint or powder coating









The small bits were hard and took a few chunks of skin out my hand but oh well lol.
Next is going to be the carb bowls and vacuum covers, doing it all bit by bit to make sure its all done properly. like i said everything is getting done even nuts, bolts and washers.
I will probably put a order in for brand new bolts etc for the bike.

 

im well impressed with your cleaning and polishing skills

 

Cheers mate , i havent polished them just cleaned them up with wire drill bits, trying to decide what parts im spraying and what parts im sending to powder coaters

 

I have a scooter engine, 2 casings that I need doing if you fancy a go, Ill get the auto sol out afterwards and polish.

 

lol if you want to send them to me i will happily clean and polish them for you, for a small price of course
Its one of the things i do from home aswell as build and restore bikes and general service and repair
