    Holy Smurfy!!!

    Maybe if you paint the tank red it would break up the blue a bit.

    All in all...nice job painting the bike.

    I would not paint mine like that, but I will say nice job. Good to see somebody do what they like. Be proud of it.

    itdoes look like papa smurfs ride but regardless off what others say about your choice of color scheme, it is your vision and theres nothing wrong with it. as long as you are pleased with the end result, thats all that matters. i got an 85 sitting behind the garage that i will someday get to redoing, but have to many projects going on at the moment, so it sits there like it has for the past 4 years. i will get to it someday, and the ideas i have in my head are going to make heads turn once its done. im thinking old school curtis sparks replica... at least set up wise, color scheme... white plastics, blue frame and charcoal gray forks, swinger, and motor with some chrome highlights. kinda like the powroll 200x oldschool racer.

    nice job on the repaint.
    1985 KXT 250 Tecate - kx cylinder, kx ignition, bassani headpipe, answer silencer, v-force reeds, 38mm airstyker carb, +2 franks swinger, raptor rear shock.

    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "HOLY SH-T, what a ride!"

    I've always wondered why we don't seem to bother with the front of the seat...?? Mine bothers me when i'm riding, so gotta bend it back forward.

    for me, its a fine line between a sloppy seat cover and having it bend upward like that

    BTW sweet trike. if it were mine i'd put some white honda wings on the tank though

    double BTW have you put a chain on and ridden it?

    QCR77. First of all, thanks. And no i have not ridden it yet, i still need to get a chain and airfilter. whenever i can scrounge up some cash ill get them and give her hell, lol. Hmmmm, i do plan on getting some stickers for it. white sounds good. the ones i had in mind were the red, white, and blue wings. but not sure yet. thanks for the suggestion man.
