• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

New Paint & Mods

Just out of curiosity, what kind of paint is that exactly?

At one time I was looking at the Dupont Luminescent paint that changes colors based on how the sun hits it. This is definitely another very cool paint that I have not seen anywere around here.

It's Spectra Chrome (Candy Apple Red). It can be done in all colors. Here's a link to their website.

...and if you dont mind me asking, what's the typical cost for a paint job like that?

I'll give them a call and find out what they charge just for painting. I had a lot of things custom made and modified, so I'm not sure what it is for just doing the paint.
 
:2thumbs: Very cool :2thumbs:, I hope to see ya around here in Hampton Roads, I think I'll have to wear shades, and sun block :yikes: my eyes. :bowdown::clap:

Yeah, she's kinda bright! I told my wife between the loud exhaust and this paint job, if some one hits me, they meant to do it. Hopefully we can get together and ride. Again thanks for all of the compliments & positive feedback.
 
Maybe they saw the glare and...

If that paint is as mirror like as it looks and the sun is shining off it, maybe if they hit you it was because they were temporarily blinded. I might do something like that on some parts -- but not brave enough to do the entire bike.

Did you ever get a price for the paint job? I looked online and the paint costs about $2-$3 per square foot but it also requires some new equipment, probably some training, etc -- so not sure what a paint shop would charge.

Hey, never thought about it that way. The paint job is about 4500 to 5000. Just having certain pieces done would bring the price down a lot.
