Forget that, a buddy of mine on a large Japanese cruiser is going to get his bike painted with something called true flame, dude you gotta check this out, it's spendy, but look at it. Your bike would be the BOMB!!

 

hey deej there was a bike at the kawi dealer when i dropped mine off that had a paint job like that... man its sweet...

on the marbilizing, i know a few body guys, i believe you spray a base coat of black then what ever color you want on top, and while the paint is still wet press wrinkled aluminum foil on the wet color paint to get the marble effect... im pretty sure thats how its done... could be wrong.

 

Yeah, pretty close to that I think. Although I think they use sheets of plastic (like garbage bags) all wrinkled up.

 

OK I TOOK ALL MY FAIRINGS OFF MY 93 ZX7R ABOUT A COUPLE WEEKS AGO INCLUDING MY AIR FILTER BOX..I HAVEN'T STARTED UP MY BIKE UNTIL YESTERDAY AND IT KEEPS CUTTING OFF...I TURNED THE CHOKE ALL THE WAY UP AND IT'LL STAY ON UNTIL I TURN THE CHOKE BACK DOWN THEN IT'LL CUT OFF AGAIN...WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT??? COULD IT BE THAT I TOOK OFF THE WHOLE AIR FILTER BOX OR COULD IT BE THAT I HAVEN'T STARTED IT FOR A COUPLE WEEKS??
