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

That would look good in grunge full matt cammo. Net the clocks housing and it would be spot on.

Aye, but he'd never find it again, once he'd parked it up

:lol: Yep. Keep away from forests.

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.

Yep, cammo netting. Also good for the indicators but I noticed you didn't have any.

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.

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..

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.

Now if that were mine, I 'd borrow some T-bars, see what they'd look like on it

More substantial for mounting the '50 cal' on

I really like what you've done there.

Looks properly good does that

that is so cool,how about some ex army panniers

Like it! What inspired the change from the original colour and design? And where did you get the Nato paint from? (might have a go myself)

Like it will not be a one of for long real nice job

Ian

How was it applying the paint and what preperation needed doing beforehand as would like to do this to the towny, NATO green body, black swing arm

Bike looks mint buddy. Can i ask what the headlight is off as im thinking on removing the top fairing section on mine as i think it makes it looked dated.

Is it major hastle to do?
