baldrick Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 the first one was too Disney frozen, the second one would have ended up with a penis drawn on its tank, or , heaven forbid, been compared to a hongay, so the 3rd one is the one I'm keeping (for today anyway lol). I'm actually quite happy with this scheme, is basic, but should pop when cleared, as the blue is a metallic mix. (doesn't show up well in pics) I was gonna do this one in the first place, but thought it was too plain...sometimes plain is best its a keeper, for sure,......maybe 3 Quote Link to comment

baldrick Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 I used to have a matt black TL. and my god ........I loved that bike..... ive just ordered up some more decals, Suzuki outline in white, should break up the expanse of blue on it. Probably take a week to arrive in the Northern wastelands, . Looking at the pics, the blue looks darker in real life, weird..... Quote Link to comment

baldrick Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 looks much better with a graphic or three. tried tilting the tank one up at the back, but it looked pish, so it got levelled. time for some clear. 10 Quote Link to comment
