We got rid of as much of the chrome as we could, all turned black. The exhaust headers were wrapped and the new Predator mufflers covered with layers of thermo resistant black matte paint. This dark side contrasts with the fuel tank, inspired by old school nascar racecars.From the beginning we were set on painting numbers in the side plates, but we found we like them better with the natural metal texture we got from cutting them from plain stainless steel, so that was well left alone.The seat was custom made from scratch to give it a slim look, smaller than the original. The beige leather color is important too, in order to give it a dirty and old school desert appearance.Apart from an injection tune up to make up from all filters and exhaust recovery modules being taken off, the engine remains original, free to be used and abused on the dusty country roads we always pictured this bike being taken on.
