Splund Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Just finished my Nato green XJ900, everything else black. Not sure what category of bike this falls in, too tidy for a rat bike. It is supposed to be satin finish all over but the tank has come a bit too shiny. I am just waiting on some decal to arrive from ebay. Need to change the clocks and bars at some point. Bob Update, finished with stickers This was how it looked the day I bought it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator DirtyDT Posted July 13, 2011 Moderator Share Posted July 13, 2011 That would look good in grunge full matt cammo. Net the clocks housing and it would be spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure what you mean by net the clocks housing, Im guessing you mean something like camo netting? sounds like a posible quick fix, like it. Give me time to save for a digital speedo.

Indicators are there, if you look very close, they were advertised as mini, I think micro might be a better description. They are mounted on the headlamp brackets and you can just see the rears top corner of the number plate, bright though, fitted with halogen lamps.

Moderator Cynic Posted July 14, 2011 Moderator Share Posted July 14, 2011 I like stuff like this, looks really good. Cammo netting may be a bit naff TBH could spoil the overall look you have, it certainly isn't a rat. Blacking up the peg hangers on the other hand would help i think. Whatever you do i like it a lot. Well done.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done.. Thanks for that, I might have to get hangers anodised as I think paint would keep rubbing off, thats the reason they are still silver at the mo. Handlebars are next, renthal motocross style or flat bars on 4" risers, not sure yet. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
