Default Repaint the KLX - Grey (see photo)???

I got bored and decided to "paint" my KLX gray using Photoshop Fusion paint. What do you think?

That looks really cool actually. Is it still too hot for riding down there?

I'd like to find some purple parts (seat, tires etc) to make it look like a constructicon. I saw a ninja like that...anyone remember this guy?

i really like that look mark! it's possible, but the seat would be tough to paint. unless you buy an aftermarket seat.

Want to see it in KTM orange? Honda red? Suzuki black? BMW yellow? It really changes the look of the bike!

It's cooled down a little since we are into our monsoon season now - you can ride pretty comfortably until about 11am.

Okay Deej here it is - but you're going to have to get rid of that Muzzy decal.

I agree, somebody has obsessive compulsive...

After day one, even without taking her to the dirty stuff, my bike was still covered in filth just from the pavement.

Btw folks, this is really easy to do yourself. Open the image up in photoshop, go to image > adjustments > desaturate.

Then create a new layer ontop of the picture, and change it to an "overlay" layer. Then pick any colour you want, and paint onto the overlay layer.
