 |
|
G'day guys and girls
Just finished putting my LT back together today after a new paint job.
It was done in 2 pack with the base being white sparkle with the pearl a 50/50 mix of white and blue.
The black bits are done in acrylic deep black with 15% copper gold pearl.
Looks rather good out in the sun, the paint appears to be silver when in the garage with fluro lighting.
Hope that the photos do it justice
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
P.S. I think I will go for a ride tomorrow, 29c with chance of storms later in the day.

Stunning bike Frank - I especially like the pearl white with the black bags and 22L top case. Very nice effect. Thanks for the pics, and lucky you to be on that side of the planet this time of year!
Cheers...
--John

Hi Frank,
The bike looks stunning! Hmm...maybe I should have gone for a pearl effect for my K as well...haha! Hey is that the original seat? It looks very comfortable, esp for long distance, wonder if it'd fit my K...hmm 
Well done, lovely bike!
Chris

You're gonna have a White Christmas! Man, that's so brilliant, I miss snow, we get snow here too, but it comes down as torrential rain, buckets of it...

Hello Frank...
NICE Nice nice.....!! Really looks sharp, BUT as Duck says, now's the time to get it dirty. Have fun in the process. All us far-northern Hemisphere folks are unbelievably jealous.
As for Chris: You can have all my snow from now on. I dont think either John, or Saltcreek would object to you having their portions as well. So come and get it ! We wanna ride ......
best regards and a very happy holiday to all.......// Ernie-NH

Very sharp!
Kinda looks like a cop bike, too. As I've noticed with my Road King, when people thing you're a cop, they often get out of the way. That's the benefit. They also slow way down and block the roads. That's the drawback.

Looks classic!
White KLTs are very imposing.
Don't you feel like riding a cop bike?

Yeah, it works a treat here with my white K11 too, especially in traffic jams on the highway when cars tend to use the emergency lane (big offense, big fine) to overtake, I just hit the hazard lights on approach and watch them scamper! Heh heh heh

G'day guys
Thanks for the comments. yes, it was a cop bike.
I just got sick of the plain flat white paint. A mate who I work with did the new paint.
