Default Apperence MOD!!!

Well I spent this weekend trying to find Black Bits for the KLX and no luck. So what I did after instaling the new Dunlop606 after a bit less than 2000miles. Which by the way was Fxxxing hard job. But once it was done I felt a since of greatness since it was my first time. The new rubber was well worth it. I have been slidding around for way too long. Here are some pics of that.

Then I went to the local graphics and paint shop and picked up some black vynal decals. Founds this stuff already pre-cut and with graphics but way to pricy for my blood. So I got a whicked worm up the you know where and went to town.

Here is the KLX250S transformed to BLACK. I think it looks way better. What do you all think???

New D606 and old D603 with about 2000mi

Has anyone considered a good paint, instead of tape or stickers? Looks good Gravy. I remember when one of the guys here had a graphics kit with skulls and stuff on it and man that thing looked awesome, but my wife said no way, too creepy. LOL

I was looking for the rubber stuff, but was unable to find it... of course I didnt really look to hard. I went with the black textured paint. I was thinking of using the stuff that makes it look like marble but decided agains it. My daughter picked this one ovet the one with the white spackle in it.

Deej... yep is was Sdunne... Havent talked to him in a bit... wounder what happend to him???

Looks great, Gravy Train! Let me know how you like the D606. I may try one out after I wear down my Kenda Trak Master II. Also, be sure and check out the tire changing videos Deej posted yesterday, if you haven't seen them already - they are great.
