My '03 XB9R

[MegadethJumper]

Like the title states....this is my Firebolt. I've only had it for a moth or so, and I absolutely love it! The stock blue color was definitely showing its age, so I decided to rattle can it. My first choice was a very subtle orangel. I painted the air cleaner cover first and realized it wasn't going to look good at all, so I decided to go black. Bear in mind I'm going to have it pro painted, and this was a cheap way to find out what colors would work best.

What I started with...

@squid

love how you left the outer edge of the rims polished and not painted over! Brings everything in together.

Well, I loved the blue...but it needed to be painted. If they would have been painted to begin with, I would have a paint code to use. If anyone has a paint code similar, I would love to have it.

@Squid, I would have to polish the lips after removing some nicks...and I will not travel down that road again! I polished My Gixxers rims, and once was enough for me. I will get them powder coated eventually.
